Seed priming with NaCl helps to improve tissue tolerance, potassium retention ability of plants, and protects the photosynthetic ability in two different legumes, chickpea and lentil, under salt stress.

value). An improved TT nature enabled the primed plants to maintain a significantly higher photosynthetic rate through better stomatal conductance. Along with this, a higher level of chlorophyll content and competent functioning of the photosynthetic subunits improved photosynthetic performance that ensured yield under stress. Overall, this study explores the potential of NaCl-priming and creates possibilities for considerably sensitive members; those in their nonprimed forms have no prospect in mildly saline agriculture.
