Effect of drought stress implemented at pre- or post-anthesis stage on some physiological parameters as screening criteria in chickpea cultivars

Drought Resistance in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in Relation to Morphological, Physiological Parameters and Phenological Developments

“…Findings of present investigation depicted that decrease in cell membrane stability was more in drought sensitive lentil genotype IPL-406, while in tolerant genotype HUL-57 it was of lesser magnitude consistent findings as we found in our results (Fig. 2a, b) are reported earlier in chickpea (Deshmukh et al, 2002;Gunes et al, 2008). It can also be concluded that a trait of higher cell membrane stability, (under thermal or osmotic stress) during drought stress conditions is an important physiological selection criteria in lentil.…”

“…morphological, phenological and physiological modifications (Vadez et al, 2012;Mishra et al, 2014Mishra et al, , 2016. Drought stress is recognized to cause reductions in plant growth, root functioning, leaf area development, cell membrane stability, alterations in biomass and nitrogen allocation in different plant parts, drought tolerance efficiency and geometric mean productivity, similarly, the above parameters and drought indices may gives surety for characterizing drought resistance in many legumes under drought stress (Hamidi and Erskine, 1996;Kurdali et al, 1997;Sio-Se Mardeh et al, 2006;Shrestha et al, 2006a, b;Gunes et al, 2008;Singh et al, 2013;Mishra et al, 2014). Under drought stress the above parameters have been used as source of screening traits in parallel in diverse crop plants, but their relative helpfulness has not been evaluated in lentil groups.…”

Genetic Analysis of Yield and Its Attributes in Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) Under Normal Irrigation and Drought Stress Conditions

“…Otherwise, Line 1 and Line 2 and F 1 crosses (Line 1 x Misr 1), (Line 1 x Line 2), (Misr 1 x Gemmeiza 11) and (Line 2 x Gemmeiza 9) had DSI values more than 1.0, hence these genotypes were sensitive to drought stress. Similar results were obtained by Gunesa et al (2008) and Kilic & Yagbasanlar (2010) as well as Ali & EL-Sadek (2016), they notes a wide range of response to drought tolerance in wheat genotypes.…”

Investigation of the Mechanism of Physiological Tolerance in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Cultivars under Drought Stress Conditions

“…It has been reported that higher H 2 O 2 accumulation under drought and other abiotic stresses is more common in sensitive chickpea cultivars (29). Measurement of H 2 O 2 in plant tissues under stress conditions can give strong evidence of the extent of oxidative damage because H 2 O 2 serves as a precursor of highly reactive species (24).…”
