| Abstract | This research was carried out in order to assess the effect of salt stress (0 , 40, 80 and 120 mM NaCl solution) on seedling growth and antioxidant enzyme activity of three canola (Brassica napus) cultivars ‘Consul’, ‘Zarfam’ (a new Iranian cultivar) and ‘Okapi’. Salt stress decreased canola cultivar root length, shoot length and seedling dry weight but increased seedling EL and CAT and POD activity. ‘Okapi’ appears to be salt tolerant since it showed the highest seedling dry weight (0.15 mg), highest CAT (14.2 mgH2O2/g.pro/min) and POD (63.4mgH2O2/g.pro/min) activity and lowest electrolyte leakage (32.8%) under 120 mM NaCl Solution. |
