A. Priya Dharshini; V. Babu Rajendra Prasad; K. Vanitha; et al. International Journal of Environment and Climate Change 2021. doi:10.9734/ijecc/2021/v11i1030495
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Increasing PEG concentration decreased greengram germination percentage, root length and shoot length.
- Observation At -0.5 MPa PEG, greengram seedling mortality reached 50%.
- Intervention effect PEG-induced drought at -0.5 MPa decreased the greengram parameters studied relative to control.
- Intervention effect Drought increased proline content in all greengram genotypes screened, relative to control.
- Association Greengram genotypes VGG17019 and VGG17004 had higher germination percentage, GSI and proline content under drought, indicating high drought tolerance.
