Correlation between key growth and physio-biochemical parameters, average values of eight T lines along with WT were used for correlation analysis. Where: GR- glutathione reductase, CAT- catalase, APX- ascorbate peroxidase, POD- guaiacol peroxidase, AsA- Ascorbate, MDA- malondialdehyde, H₂O₂- hydrogen peroxide, RWC- relative water content, PDM- Pod dry mass, RL- Root length, SL- Shoot length, RDM-Root dry mass and SDM- Shoot dry mass. (*) represent significant correlation:

*P≤ 0.05, and

**P ≤ 0.01.
