Sodium Chloride (NaCl)-Induced Physiological Alteration and Oxidative Stress Generation in Pisum sativum (L.): A Toxicity Assessment.

ABSTRACT: Salinity stress has a deleterious impact on plant development, morphology, physiology, and biochemical characteristics. Considering the NaCl-induced phytotoxicity, current investigation was done to better understand the salt-tolerant mechanisms using Pisum sativum L. (pea) as a model crop. Generally, NaCl resulted in a progressive decrease in germinative attributes and physiological and biochemical parameters of P. sativum (L.). The 400 mM NaCl level had a higher detrimental effect and reduced the germination rate, plumule, radicle length, and seedling vigor index (SVI) by 78, 89, 84, and 77%, respectively, under in vitro. Furthermore, after 400 mM NaCl exposure, physiological and enzymatic profiles like root dry biomass (71%) chl-a (66%), chl-b (54%), total chlorophyl
