In the present study the two paddy cultivars were selected and the tests were conducted to examine the effect of salinity
and different concentration of GA3 on the NaCl incubated seeds. GA3 and NaCl treated seeds showed increased content of
phenol, reducing sugar, alpha and beta amylase activity during seed germination in both the cultivars. However, the one - way
ANOVA performed for two paddy cultivars i.e., Jaya and Tanu value revealed a significant difference in control and different
concentrations of GA3 on phenol, reducing sugar, alpha and beta amylase activity upon challenge inoculation with NaCl.
