Kent, OL-10, OL-1862, OL-1869, OL-125, OL- 1966, OL-1876, OL-1895 of oats (Avena sativa L.). When seeds of oats were subjected to different salt concentrations ( at 25mM, 50mM, 75mM, 100mM, 125mM, 150mM, 175mM, 200mM) of NaCl, various physiological parameters such as shoot length(lamina and sheath), root length, dry weight, fresh weight, seed vigour I, seed vigour II declined with the increase in salt stress level in all the genotypes whereas the biochemical parameters such as total soluble sugars, total protein content and activities of antioxidant enzymes increased with the increase in salt stress level in all genotypes.ennullThesis
