Abstract
This study was conducted to explore the mechanisms of oxidative stress tolerance in chili (Capsicum annuum L.) under drought conditions by evaluating various morphological, physiological, and biochemical. A total of 8 genotypes were assessed for their genetic potential to tolerate drought stress at 45 days of age for 6 days. Later, 3 genotypes exhibited tolerance to drought stress; those 3 genotypes were selected to impose the drought for 12 days and investigate oxidative stress tolerance mechanisms. Drought stress resulted in a decrease in root & shoot length and dry weight parameters compared to control plants. Tolerant genotypes showed a smaller decrease in electrolyte leakage, photosynthetic pigment, relative water content, and specific leaf area characters than the control plants. Although drought plants exhibited a higher level of proline amino acid than the control plants. Eventually, Nepolean-5575 showed high tolerance, Lucky-2 exhibited moderate tolerance, and Tamanna exhibited less tolerance.
