NaCl stress affects chlorophyll fluorescence in eggplant seedlings. High NaCl levels decrease various parameters related to photosynthesis efficiency and electron transport. This stress damages the photosynthetic reaction center and inhibits electron transport in the seedlings. Excessive energy is mainly dissipated as heat in the antenna system.
