Abstract
To evaluate phenotypic variation of lentil for salinity in order to identify salt tolerant accessions at
germination and early seedling stage, greenhouse experiment was carried out using twelve lentil
accessions and four salinity levels. Seeds of 12 lentil accessions were grown with different levels of
salinity (control, 2, 4, and dSm-1 NaCl) for one month. The experimental design was Randomized
Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Germination time, germination percentage,
salt tolerance index, seedling shoot and root traits were evaluated. The result showed that there were
significant variation among and between lentil accessions, NaCl levels and their interaction for the entire
traits (p<0.001).and salinity significantly delays and hinders s e e d germination; formation and the
overall growth of seedling shoot and root traits. The degree of decrement was varied with accessions and
salinity level. The greatest and the least values of germination percentage, salt tolerance index and length
of plumule and radicle were observed at the control and highest salinity level respectively. However,
accession Lent 12, Lent 1 and Lent 2 were performed well and gives better result than other accessions
even at higher salinity level the entire traits, thus; these accessions are recommended for saline
conditions.
