Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted at Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to assess the “Effect of salinity on bio- chemical parameters and yieldof sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Varieties†during the summer, 2017.The pot experiment comprised of four levels of salinity viz., <2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 dS m-1and tested five different varieties viz., G Til 2, G Til 3, G Til 4, G J Til 5 and G Til 10 in FRCD. The results revealed that the bio-chemical and yield parameters were significantly influenced by the different tested varieties of sesame. The highest seed yield (4.05 g plant-1) and stalk yield (6.20 g plant-1) were observed with variety V5 (G Til 10). The highest proline (0.93 µmole/gf.wt) accumulation in leaves was found with variety V5 (G Til 10) at 45 DAS. The proline content in varieties was observed in order: V5> V2> V4> V1> V3. Similarly, among the different tested varieties, variety V5 (G Til 10) exhibited significantly higher RWC (84.52%), chlorophyll a (2.37 mg/gf.wt), chlorophyll b (1.21 mg/gf.wt) and total chlorophyll content (4.19 mg/gf.wt) than other varieties.
