Impact of salt stress on morphological and biochemical parameters of Zea mays
Authors(2) :-Ruqaya Jabeen, Zahoor Baba This research was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of salinity stress on the growth and biochemical parameters of Zea mays. The salt concentrations of 25, 50, 75 and 100mM were compared to the blank which was without any salt stress. There was not a visible decline in growth as is shown in increased fresh and dry weights. The biochemical parameters like chlorophyll and Carotenoid contents as well as soluble protein showed a decrease owing to the salt stress. Soluble sugar showed an increase with stress which might be because of accumulation of proline, which is used in osmotic adjustment of plants.
