Abstract :

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil seed and emerging food crop of India. salinity is one of the major problem limiting crop production by affecting its many phases viz, seed germination, growth ,flowering and fruting ,metabolite content. Brassinosteroid are novel type of phytohormone that influences various physiological processes in plant during various stress condition. In this study pot experiment was conducted by selecting four groundnut cultivars viz.GG2, GG4, TMV13, Girnar 2. The seedling metabolite content at early sprouting stage was measured as changes in protein, total amino acid and proline content all Brassinosteroids treatment over control in the seedling. Here, studies deals with evaluation of role of assinosteroids on metabolites content of some germinating groundnut cultivars under salinity stress.
