No significant effect was observed in the Plant sight number of leaves or ka area with low concentration, while a decrease was noticed for each, with Protsin two higher concentrations and in both measurement periods, Salinity increased both fresh and dry weights of the shoot in the two measurement periods ‘Osmotic potential (O.P.) showed a significant doerease with the increase in concentrations, and in the duration ofthe stess periods Salinity significantly reduced chlorophyll 8° content in both measurement periods. I also signif ‘cantly reduced chlorophyll 'b, total chl, and carotenoids contents after ton days of treatment. An increase was opserved in the protein content in the two measurement periods due to the ‘impact of salinity stress. A directly proportional relationship was found between protein content and the increase in salt concentrations in the first measurement period, while it was inversely pro- portional in the second (© 2010 King Saud University.

Abdul Qudos so it is important to recognize other physiological and bio- chemical factors, including toxic fons, osmotic potential, lack ‘of elements and other physiological nd chemical disorders, as well asthe interactions between these various stresses (Mun= 1s, 1993, 2002; Neumann, 1997; Yao, 1998; Hasegewa et al. 2000. From the results ofthe studies, which looked at the effect of salt stress on growth, one ean notice « connection between the decrease in plant length and the increase in the concentration ‘of sodium chloride (Beltag ct a, 2006; Mu tard and Renault. 2006; Gama etal, 2007; Jamil et al, 2007; Houimli etal, 2008; Rui et al, 2009; Memon ct al., 2010). Numerous studies showed the affection of leaf area negatively by using different, concentrations of NaCl (Raul et al., 2003; Netondo ct al., 2004; Mathur et al., 2006, Chen et al., 2007; Zhao et al. 2007; Yilmaz and Kina, 2008; Rui etal, 2009), ‘The harmful influence of salinity on leaf number, als i creases with the inerease in concentration, according to the studies held by Raul et al, (2003), Jamil et al, (2005), Gama ct al, (2007), Ha et al. (2008), Many studies have shown that the fresh and dry weights of | the shoot system are affected, either negatively or positively, by changes in salinity concentration, type of salt present, ‘or type of plant species (Bayuclo Jimenes et al., 2002; Jamil et a., 2005; Niaz et a., 2005; Sagib et al, 2006; Turan etal. 2007; Saffan, 2008; Rui et al, 2008; Taffouo et al., 2008, 2010; Memon et al, 2010), Changes in water relations of plants that are stressed by salinity, can be seen in certain studies that confirm that, many plants undergo osmotic regulation when they are exposed 10, salt stress by increasing the negativity of the osmotic potential ‘of the leat sap (Rodriguez et al., 1997; Gama etal, 2007, 2009: Kaymakanova and Stoeva, 2008; Kaymakanova et al., 2008) Many studies confirm the inhibitory effect of salinity on biochemical processes, of which photosynthesis is the most important. The effect on photosynthesis can be gauged from the effect on the photosynthetic pigments. The resulls of spe- cific studies (Sultana et al, 2000; Tort and Turkyilmaz, 2004; Misra et al, 2006; Murillo-Amador et al., 2007; Taffouo, ct al, 2010) clearly indicate that salinity reduces the content of photosynthetic pigments in treated plants. Protein content can also be affected negatively or positively, by salt stress. The results of certain studies (Sultana et al. 2000; Tort and Turkyilmaz, 2004; Beltagi et al, 2006; Chen et al, 2007; Kapoor and Srivastava, 2010) demonstrate a decrease, or increase, in protein content in plants treated with
