| Abstract | ||
| A comparative physiological study was conducted on the salt tolerance of two cultivars of cucumber plants ( Cucumis sativus L.) . The study included the effect of salt concentrations ( 4 , 6 , 8 and 10 ) dS /m of salt solution of ( NaCl ) , in addition of distill water as a control , on the seed germination and the concentrations of total and reduced sugar , sucrose , protein and proline on the shoot system of two cucumber plants . Results of the study were revealed that , the increases of salt concentrations causes a decrease in the percentage of seed germination and an increase on the concentrations of total and reduced sugar , sucrose , proteins and proline on the shoot system , besides a significant differences between the different salinity treatments . | ||
