Salinity is one of the most severe abiotic stresses for crop production. The present study was conducted to evaluate effect NaCl on growth and some biochemical parameters in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seedlings. Chickpeas were grown hydroponically 14 days then treated with 0 mM 200 NaCl. Plants harvested experiment 7 after salt treatment. showed marked changes (fresh dry weight roots shoots) amount photosynthetic pigments. revealed that activity photosystems (PS I PS II) under stress lower than plants growing normal conditions. spectral characteristics chloroplasts isolated from leaves studied by fluorescence method at liquid nitrogen temperature (77K). Under stress, chloroplast emission spectrum decreased parts characterizing PSII (maxima 686 nm 695 nm) PSI complexes 735 nm).
