Effect of salinity on chlorophyll &carbohydrate contents of Calotropis procera seedlings
(Back Awad Subhi, Hassan Said wales)Abstract
The effect of salinity concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 mM NaCl) on the leaf content of chlorophyll a and b and carbohydrate (soluble and insoluble) contents of shoot and root of Calotropis procera (Ait.) Ait. seedlings were investigated. The results showed clear effects of salinity on the chlorophyll content especially at high salinity concentration (160 and 320 mM NaCl) and with increasing plant age.
