e0“The effect of water deficit on growth and some physiological and biochemical parameters related to water deficit tolerance was studied in 4 Moroccan alfalfa Medicago sativa L. populations that originated from the mountains and oases of Morocco”
e1“The experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions”
e2“optimal irrigation (75% of field capacity, FC)”
e3“the water deficit negatively affected dry biomass, membrane permeability, leaves' relative water contents, and nitrate and phosphorus contents”

- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced dry biomass, membrane permeability and leaf relative water content in alfalfa relative to optimal irrigation, in greenhouse conditions.
- Observation The alfalfa populations differed significantly from each other in most of the considered parameters.
- Association Tolerance was positively correlated with the ability of alfalfa to overcome oxidative stress through induction of antioxidant enzyme activity.
- Association Tolerance was positively correlated with accumulation of inorganic ions in alfalfa.
- Association Tolerance was positively correlated with maintained nitrate reductase and acid phosphatase activities in alfalfa.
