Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced Kabuli seed yield by 80% relative to control.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced Desi seed yield by 64% relative to control.
- Observation Leaf water potential declined faster in Kabuli than Desi.
- Observation Desi leaf water potential reached −2.9 MPa after water stress.
- Observation Kabuli leaf water potential reached −3.1 MPa after water stress.
- Observation End-of-stress leaf water potential did not differ significantly between the types.
- Observation Kabuli had 20% more membrane injury than Desi on the last stress day.
- Observation Desi had significantly greater chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate than Kabuli.
- Observation Kabuli had markedly higher malondialdehyde and H2O2 contents than Desi at stress end.
- Observation Desi had significantly higher ascorbic acid and glutathione than Kabuli.
- Observation Superoxide dismutase and catalase activity did not differ significantly between Desi and Kabuli.
- Observation Desi had higher ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase activity on day 10.
- Mechanism The authors attribute greater Desi drought tolerance to better water status and less oxidative damage.
- Intervention effect Under abscisic acid treatment, Desi showed greater capacity to handle oxidative stress than Kabuli.
