ABSTRACT
Leaf enzyme extracts of 10 day old seedlings of horsegram were subjected to NaCl or Na2SO4 treatment in vitro. Salinity shock caused decline in the activities of RuBP carboxylase, R-5-P kinase, R-5-P isomerase and NADP-Gly-3-P dehydrogenase. At low concentrations, Na2SO4 did not alter the activities of R-5-P kinase, R-5-P isomerase and NADP-Gly-3-P dehydrogenase. RuBP carboxylase was found to be more sensitive to salt shock than the other enzymes studied. Further, NaCl was more toxic to the enzyme activities as compared to Na2SO4.
