Abstract
Lab experiments were conducted for the study of morphological changes in maize induced by NaCl at Botany Lab, University of Gujrat, Pakistan during the year 2010. The variety used in this experiment was Haricon-11. There were three levels of NaCl including control (0, 50, and 100 m Mol). Germination % and root length had non-significant effect of NaCl at 50 m Mol but 100 m Mol drastically reduced the germination % and root length of maize. Coleoptile length, root and coleoptile fresh weights decreased with the increase of NaCl levels. Maximum reduction in growth attributes was observed at 100 m Mol of NaCl. It was concluded that 100 m Mol of NaCl salinity had adverse effect on morphological attributes in maize as compared to control and 50 m Mol of NaCl applied in growth medium of germinating seed
