Abstract

        Salinity is an abiotic factor that interferes with the growth and development of plants and their metabolism, and its toxic effect differs according to the level of its concentration and the stage of development of the plant.  


To carry out this study, two varieties Bousselam and Simeto of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) were germinated and watered with NaCl salt water at different increasing concentrations for a period of fifteen days to determine the effect of salt stress on their germination behaviour.


The results obtained from the different physiological parameters studied showed that salinity has a toxic effect on the germination of durum wheat which varies according to the salt concentration as well as the variety.
