Abstract
Root exudates play pivotal roles in supporting plant growth and conferring abiotic stress tolerance to plants. However, reports on their role in drought stress tolerance in wheat are scanty. Citric acid, succinic acid, magnesium, and calcium were previously examined for their increased accumulation in the rhizosphere of drought-tolerant bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, and their impact on drought stress tolerance in sensitive bread wheat genotype was studied in the current work. Under 15% polyethylene glycol induced water stress condition, succinic acid at 600 ppm, and citric acid (CA) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) each at 900 ppm, significantly enhanced the plant height, root length, and fresh and dry weight of plants after 40 days of sowing under controlled conditions. Under water limiting condition in pots, two-time application of CA at 1200 ppm affected majority of the physiological parameters, while CA at 800 ppm positively influenced the grain yield (58.40%) and yield-related parameters. MgSO4 at 400 ppm also supported higher grain yield by 47.29% over control. Under sufficient water condition, CA and MgSO4 each at 400 ppm significantly enhanced the grain yield by 92.25 and 105.37%, respectively, compared to control. Under rain-fed condition in field, two-time application of CA and MgSO4 at 800 ppm and 400 ppm, respectively, significantly enhanced the grain yield by 15.38%, and other grain yield-related parameters. The presence of root exudates under drought stress conditions is thought to improve plant osmoregulation, lower reactive oxygen species, and increase photosynthetic rates.
