“…These results are in good agreement with those reported by Cusido et al (1987), Cordovilla et al (1995), Gunes et al (1996) and Yousef and Al-Saadawi (1997). The reduction of plant growth under saline conditions may either be due to osmotic reduction in water availability which resulted in increasing stomatal resistance as reported by Gunes et al (1996), or to excessive ions, Na and CI accumulation in the plant tissues (Cusido et al, 1987;Gunes et al, 1996;Yousef and Al-Saadawi, 1997).…”

“…It has been reported that salinity stress significantly reduced net photosynthetic rates, increased energy losses for salt exclusion mechanism, largely decreased nutrient uptake and finally reduced plant growth (Long and Baker, 1986;Seemann and Sharkey, 1986). The reduction of biomass production reported in this investigation is in agreement with the findings of Morales et al (1992), Cordovilla et al (1995) and Gunes et al (1996). Salinity inhibits the growth of the plants by affecting both water absorption and biochemical processes, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide assimilation and protein biosynthesis (Cusido et al, 1987).…”

Abstract:The effect of salinity on growth and chlorophyll content of six soybean genotypes was investigated. Plants were grown in nutrient solution in a greenhouse experiment to determine the effect of salinity on growth and Chl. a and b content of soybean leaves. Salinity was induced by natural drainage water of salted field to the nutrient solution. Electrical conductivities of the nutrient solution were 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 ds/m. Salinity induced marked decrease in plant growth and chlorophyll content of soybean genotypes. Increasing salinity level to 10 ds/m decreased plant height, shoot and root dry weight and Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b contents. Soybean genotypes responded differently to increasing salt concentrations. There was a consistent in the percentages reduction of shoot dry weight and Chorophyll a and Chlorophyll b contents. It seems that Lee, coniquitt and Clark 36k are more tolerant than other genotypes. Chlorophyll a and b content of soybean leaves with or without shoot dry weight can be use as a parameter in screening for salt tolerant in soybeans.

“…However, the result studies of (Cordovilla et al, 1995;Veatch et al, 2004) explain that the depressive effect of salt stress on N 2 fixation by legumes is directly related to the salt induced decline in dry weight and N content in the shoot. The salt induced distortions in nodule structure could also be reasons for the decline in the N 2 fixation rate by legumes subject to salt stress (Zahran and Abu-Gharbia, 1995).…”

“…This fact can be justified as follows: such symbioses may cause hydrogen (H) pumps that generate the driving force for increasing the value of the K/Na ratio which enhance the plant salinity tolerance (Rabie and Almadini 2005). In addition, AMF may also increase plant salinity tolerance by increasing mineral nutrition acquisition (Cordovilla et al 1995), improving rhizospheric conditions (Linderman 1994), enhancing water potential (Hildebrandt et al 2001;Marulanda et al 2003), altering physiological and biochemical properties of the host plants (Smith and Read 1997), and enhancing host physiological processes such as increasing the carbon dioxide exchange rate, transpiration, stomatal conductance, root hydraulic conductivity and water use efficiency (Ruiz-Lozano et al 1996;Smith and Read 1997;Al-Karaki et al 2001).…”

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions where salinity is one of the main limiting factors for its production. Thus, this experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), Glomus mosseae, alfalfa rhizobia Sinorhizobium meliloti (R) seed inoculation in the development of salinity tolerance of different alfalfa cultivars (Rehnani, Pioneer and Bami) under a variety of salinity levels. The results revealed that under non-stress condition, root mycorrhizal infection, nodulation (the number and weight of nodules per plant), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and magnesium (Mg) contents of the root and shoot, the value of the K/ Na ratio, protein [calculated from the nitrogen (N) content] and proline contents of the shoot and the alfalfa yield were found to be the highest while Na contents of the root and shoot were seen to be the lowest when seeds were double inoculated followed by mycorrhizae, rhizobium and control treatments, respectively. Similarly, under salinity condition, the greatest amounts of mycorrhizal infection, nodulation, root and shoot P contents, the value of K/Na ratio, the shoot proline content and the root Ca content were enhanced with the least amount of leaf Na content related to the cases of seeds which were double inoculated, followed by mycorrhizae, rhizobium and control treatments respectively. The results suggested that inoculation of alfalfa seed with AMF or R, especially double inoculation, causes a considerable increase in alfalfa yield under both saline and non-saline conditions by increasing colonization, nodulation and nutrient uptake.
