Abstract
Under Nacl salinity stress, the relatively salt tolerant rice varieties maintained a lower osmotic pressure in their plant parts, than the relatively salt susceptible rice varieties. Higher root-shoot ratios observed in the tolerant rice varieties than the susceptible ones facilitated for higher absorption of water and nutrients.
