Abstract
Salinity is a major abiotic stress which limits crop production, especially in arid and semi- arid regions of the world. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of increasing NaCl concentration on the morphological and biochemical parameters of Vigna radiata L. NaCl caused decrease in root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight (biomass), number of branches, leaves and root nodules. NaCl significantly reduced chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b content at higher concentrations (75 -100mM) and an enhanced reduction was seen at 125mM NaCl. However an increase in proline content of root and shoot was observed at 125mM NaCl when compared to control.
