Title

Breeding for Drought Resistance in Common Bean: In Vitro Assay for Root Osmotic Potential

Mohamed F. Mohamed; Azza A. Tawfik Journal of Crop Improvement 2008. doi:10.1080/15427520802224584

Other claims from this paper (16)

Observation Unstressed common bean calli had higher osmotic potential and relative growth rate than tepary calli.
Observation Unstressed common bean calli had lower dry matter percentage than tepary calli.
Intervention effect Water stress did not affect measured parameters for common bean leaf callus or tepary leaf and root calli.
Intervention effect Common bean root callus osmotic potential decreased under water stress and remained low after recovery.
Intervention effect Common bean root callus relative growth rate decreased.
Intervention effect Common bean root callus dry matter increased.
Intervention effect Stress significantly reduced leaf, stem and root dry mass and leaf area in both bean types.
Observation Mass reduction was especially high in common bean stem, leaf and root.
Observation Tepary roots penetrated deeper in soil.
Intervention effect Common bean root depth did not significantly change with drought.
Observation Substantial common bean root mass occurred in the upper 10 to 20 cm of soil.
Observation Common bean had higher stomatal conductance and transpiration than tepary under both watering regimes.
Observation Soil moisture near common bean roots was higher than near tepary roots during stress.
Intervention effect Stressed common bean produced no seed yield in the production field.
Intervention effect Stressed tepary retained 60 to 64% of potential dry seed yield.
Recommendation The authors recommend the root osmotic potential assay for common bean drought resistance improvement.
