The Effect of Salt Stress on Root Development and Architecture in Common Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.)

Plant root development and architecture are experiencing a period of increased interest due to climate change increasing drought stress pressure. It is known that has 3-dimensional complex developmental system, just like above-ground organs. Determination abiotic factors affecting in forage legume species essential for developing stress-tolerant cultivars sustainable agricultural production. In this study, it was aimed investigate the effect 0- 300 mM salt (NaCl) doses on early development, architecture, endosperm usage ratios two different common grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) with basic differences. As result study performed modified cigar-roll technique, observed general, 100 150 above inhibit growth. The number length roots affected parallel each other. genotypic differences between measured parameters related were also reflected results. Different had levels tolerance, total affect inhibition. encountered seedling stage, seed ratio decreased up 4-fold. been evaluation tolerance at stage may shed light germination speed, maybe important earliness.
