Abstract
Reactions to water stress were studied on the stripe rust-tolerant wheat cultivars and the typical susceptible cultivars after infection of the pathogen Puccinia striiformis West. The results showed that these stripe rust-tolerant cultivars exhibited tolerance to water stress as well. These cultivars expressed the compatible reaction to pathogen infection under normal water supply conditions, whereas turned to the incompatible reaction to pathogen infection under water stress conditions. Water transpiration in these diseased leaves slightly increased at early stage of infection. However, after then the water transpiration rate, water diffusive resistance, relative water content, and water potential of these diseased leaves gradually turned to the same levels as those of healthy leaves. Additionally, lower osmotic potential and higher turgor potential than those of healthy leaves were also observed in these cultivars, indicating the characteristics of water balance in leaves. In contrast, on the stripe rust susceptible cultivars , the water transpiration rate increased sharply, leaf diffusive resistance, relative water content, water potential, osmotic potential and turgor potential decreased remarkably in diseased leaves under water stress conditions after infection of the pathogen, indication the characteristics of losing of water balance.
