Percentage of increase in peroxidase activity of seedlings raised from haloprimed seeds of three different varieties of V. radiata as compared to that of seedlings raised from non primed seeds. Peroxidase activity in seedlings raised from non primed seeds of Pusa Ratna in 0, NaCl, PEG stress is 178, 433, 331 μmol guaiacol oxidized/min/g dw, respectively; for Pusa 9531 in 0, NaCl, PEG stress is 473, 536, 963 μmol guaiacol oxidized/min/g dw, respectively and for Pusa Vishal in 0, NaCl, PEG stress is 314, 353, 980 μmol guaiacol oxidized/min/g dw, respectively. The vertical bars represent SE of the mean value of recordings from three independent experiments each with a minimum of three replicates. Values super scribed with same alphabet is homogenous for each stress at 1 % level significance (p < 0.01; ANOVA)
