Abstract

Salinity is one of the principal abiotic stresses that affect plant productivity by inducing osmotic stress. Maize is an economically important cereal crop affected by high salinity. In this study two varieties of maize seedlings (Oba super 2 16-11-kd-155- 159 and Sammaz 37) were subjected to 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl concentrations. The Root, young and mature leaves were harvested after 21 days of sowing. A significant (P
