Impact of Salt Stress (Nacl) on Seed Germination, Photosynthetic Pigments of Green Gram Cultivars of Co6 and Co8
44
percent was noticed in T6~T12 treated seedlings.
According to Lapina and Popov (1970), saline
conditions lead to disruption of the fine structure of
chlorophyll and instability of the pigment protein
complex which may also be the cause of the reduced
chlorophyll content.
