Abstract: Salinity stress is one of the major physiological stresses especially in arid and semiarid regions that severely affected crop production in wheat plant. Germination percentage, number of leaves per plant, number of branches and total plant height were decreased when compared to controls with increasing salt concentrations. A pot experiment was carried out in a (CRD) completely randomized design with one wheat variety and three replicated. Chlorophyll, relative water content, protein, carbohydrate, and yield component were investigated. Asses’ growth, yield, biochemical and antioxidant contributing characters under semi-controlled environmental condition in the Department of Biological sciences, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology & Sciences, Allahabad, India. During November 2016 through March 2017 aiming to alleviate the salinity stress effects on wheat plant using different KCl concentration. The pot experiment was carried the results showed that had significantly differences in almost of measured characteristics. The assessment of revealed that the maximum RWC, chlorophyll, protein content, the highest seed yield per plant. This genotype was expected to provide higher yield and protein content after releasing.
