Abstract
Seasonal changes in sugar and protein contents of some important halop hytes in Indian desert have been studied and presented here. Plants at Jodhpur (site-II), which is non-saline, showed maximum sugar during s ummer season. Plant species at Pachpadra (site-I), which is extremely saline, indicated higher sugar during rains, when soil salinity is red uced. Crude protein declined under drought or saline stress at both si tes. Plant species at site-II exhibited higher crude protein as compar ed to those at site-I.
