Abstract
One of the most crucial limiting factors for crop growth and productivity is salt stress. The morphological, biochemical alterations of the black gram (Vigna mungo L.) in response to NaCl stress were studied. The black gram seeds were exposed to different levels of NaCl, (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125mM). The well-developed plants were used for morphological and biochemical parameter observation. With increasing concentration of NaCl treatment, morphological indices such as seedling growth, photosynthetic pigments were reduced, but osmolyte such proline content was elevated. With increasing stress, the buildup of osmolytes rose considerably. Low osmotic potential at the intracellular level affected by NaCl stress was found to be the cause of deterioration in growth and photosynthetic pigments in this study.
