Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to investigate the role of some plant antioxidant materials such as Ascorbic, Glutathion, α-Tocopherol, Spermine in alleviating the harmful effects caused by soil salinity levels (2000,3000 and 5000mg/l) in wheat plant. The grain were pre-soaked then the plants sprayed with any of antioxidants used. It could be concluded that soil salinity stress  especially high levels depressed all of growth parameters and yield coponents. The data also concluded that the different applied antioxidants could partially alleviate the harmful effect of salinity stress on growth and yield of wheat plant.
