Reproductive attributes of chickpea (Rupali) subjected to control or 30mM NaCl treatments either without infusion or with stem-infusion with water or 0.44M sucrose (Ψπ=–1.1MPa). Plants were grown in nutrient solution culture and NaCl treatments were imposed on 20-day-old plants for 97 d (20/15±2 °C day/night air temperatures). Infusion treatments were started at the time of flowering (42-day-old plants) and continued until maturity. Values are means±SE (n=4). Some pods contained two seeds, so seed number is not merely % filled pods × pod number. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare salt (S), infusion (I) and salt × infusion interaction (S × I) effects (***, significant with P<0.001; **, significant with P<0.01; *, significant with P<0.05; n.s., not significant with P>0.05). Significant differences (salt × infusion interaction at P=0.05) are indicated by different letters for each mean within each panel.
