Effect of increasing levels of NaCl and Na2SO4 on photosynthetic enzymes and productivity in safflower Cv. Bhima was investigated. RuBP carboxylase (RuBP-C) to PEP carboxylase (PEP-C) ratio was like that of C3 plants. Activity of RuBP-C decreased at all levels of NaCl while it was more than the control at low levels and was inhibited at all higher levels of Na2SO4. Activity of PEP-C was more than the control at all levels of both salts. Activities of phosphoglycolate phosphatase, glycolate oxidase and pe.
