ABSTRACT
Vigna mungo is one of the legumes with the greatest protein content. Vigna mungo was subjected to a pot experiment to investigate the effects of three distinct salinitylevels [0, 50, 75, and 100 mM NaCl] on the germination and early seedling cycles. This investigation was implemented as a laboratoryexperiment with three replications for each salinity level, employing a completely randomized design. Salt stress was found to influence a variety of germination, physiological, and biochemical characteristics. The results suggest that the adverse effects were most pronounced when the seedlings were treated with 100 mM NaCl.
