Abstract
Summary: The effects of salt stress on the growth, nodulation and N accumulation during the vegetative phase was studied in chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Growth and N accumulation were adversely affected by salinity. The larger control plants produced new nodules but the existing nodules on stressed plants grew larger than those of control plants. All plants had similar %N contents but the total plant N was less in stressed plants due to the reduced growth of these plants. Reduced plant vigour was the primary effect of salt stress and was mediated through processes other than symbiotic N fixation.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
