Abstract

The present investigation was carried out on chick pea (Cicer arietinum) cv. C-235 to study the effect of different levels of salinity (C, 40, 60, 80 mg. L−1) on the seed structure. The width of seed coat decreased with salinity and the most affected level was of 60 and 80 mg L−1. The other affected part of the seed was the storing tissue i.e. cotyledon which showed a considerable reduction under the stress conditions.
