  abstract = {{I}n this study, the first experiment analyzed the effects of 0, 85, 171, 256, and 342 m{M} sodium chloride ({N}a{C}l) on the germination of {A}cacia seyal seeds. {I}n the second in vitro experiment, the effects of inoculation with two rhizobial strains on growth, physiological, and biochemical responses of {A}. seyal seedlings was evaluated at four levels (0, 85, 171, and 256 m{M}) of {N}a{C}l. {R}esults showed that at 342 m{M} {N}a{C}l, germination rate of {A}. seyal seeds declined by 56% from the control value, while any germination was recorded for {A}cacia bivenosa and {A}cacia sclerosperma seeds at the same salt level. {S}alt stress gradually decreased the growth, the soluble protein and the leaf-chlorophyll contents of {A}. seyal seedlings. {H}owever, rhizobial inoculation limits these adverse effects of salt on physiological and metabolic processes responses. {A}. seyal exhibited a moderate halophytic behavior; nodulation was enhanced by moderate salt stress.},
