Abstract
Pea (Pisum sativm L.) is one of the widely spread, early maturing legume crops grown during the winter seasons. The green pods and mature seeds of pea are rich in protein and vitamins. This crop like many other legumes is capable of fixing and utilizing atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium. In conclusion this study investigated that salt tolerant genes are plasmid-borne in most Rhizobium strains. Rhizobium salt tolerant mutants induced in this study were efficient in secrete IAA as a plant hormone. In addition, all Rhizobium inoculants induced significantly increase in the growth and yield components above uninoculated plants and improved the biochemical traits such as seeds protein content and chlorophyll formation under a biotic stress.
