Biochemical analysis of fruit wall and seed was done in order to see the effect of some growth regulators on chlorophyll, total free amino acids, proteins and total soluble sugars under different salinity levels in chickpea. Kinetin, GA3 and 2,4,5-T improved the chlorophyll contents. Salinity decreased the Chl'a’/Chl'b’ ratio. Total free amino acids were more in fruit wall during early stage of pod development but later on decreased. On the contrary, protein contents increased in fruit wall and seed with the advancement of pod age. With an increase in salinity, protein content decreased in both the cases. Among the growth regulators kinetin improved the protein content in both the components of pod at different stages of development. Chlorophyll and sugars were not detectable in the fruit wall of mature pod.
