Abstract: This study examined the responses to salt stress in 11 pea genotypes and two pea cultivars. Pea genotypes were selected from among wild pea and white flowered pea cross-breed varieties from different regions in Anatolia. In general, root fresh weight (fw) shoot fw, leaf fw, leaf number and chlorophyll contents were found to decrease with increases in salinity, whereas root and leaf MDA ratios increased with increases in salinity. Genotypes 1 (10431), 9 (101917) and 10 (1103220) were found to be the most salt-tolerant. Genotypes 6 (110121) and 7 (B-6) were found to be the most sensitive.
