Root and coleoptile length were assessed on seedlings of 22 varieties grown under salt stress at 4, 8, 12 and 16 mmhos/cm EC. Growth was progressively reduced with an increase in salinity level, with coleoptile growth being more adversely affected than root growth, although the varieties differed significantly in their ability to growth under high-sl at conditions. Coleoptile growth of sensitive varieties was suppressed by more than 60% at 12 mmhos/cm EC, whereas varieties 370, PD25, 906, 59/153, 48/12 and T8B showed less than 40% reduction in growth at this salinity level. Moderate salinity (4 mmhos/cm EC) was observed to stimulate coleoptile growth in 370, Swarna, T4, 906, 60/24 and 59/153
