Abstract
Seeds of snail medic (Medicago scutellata L.) were assessed for their response to salt at the germination and seedling stages. NaCl at concentrations 86 and 170 mM decreased the final germination percentage. Embryonic axis length, water content and dry weight of embryonic axis and cotyledons were also reduced by salt treatment. Furthermore, 28-d-old plants were grown hydroponically with different NaCl concentrations (0, 86 and 170 mM). After 7 days of treatment, growth, water content and development of the different organs of M. scutellata plant were affected especially at the highest NaCl concentration (170 mM). However, NaCl did not affect root length and the number of stem shoots but reduced stem length and total leaf area. Salt treatment increased markedly the concentration of Na<sup>+</sup> in leaf and root tissues while reduced that of K<sup>+</sup> only in root and stem tissues. Lipid peroxidation revealed the damage of the membranes of roots and leaves. Moreover, showed a more intense suberization and lignification at the cambial zone of roots of M. scutellata, were observed under the effect of NaCl.
