Abstract
The adverse effects of NaCl induced salt stress on growth attributes and endogenous levels of gibberellins (GA), abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) soybean cv. Hwangkeumkong was showed. Plant length, biomass, chlorophyll content, number of pods, 100 seed weight and yield significantly decreased in response 70 mM and 140 mM concentrations of NaCl. Under salt stress, the endogenous GA and free SA content decreased, while a significant increase in the endogenous ABA and JA contents were observed. The results showed that salinity stress drastically reduce growth and yield components of soybean by affecting endogenous growth hormones.
