Effect of Drought Stress on Tomato cv. Bombino

Abstract: To study "the effect of drought stress on Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Cv. Bombino" an experiment was conducted at Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Agricultural University Peshawar. Tomato plants were grown in green house under two different conditions of water availability i.e.-controlled and drought. The parameters studied were relative water content (%), proline content (µmoles) and relative growth rate (weekˉ1). Drought stress has significant effect on all parameters studied.

“…It is clear that WS induced a negative effect on leaf biomass and fruit ripening, as confirmed by the reduction of leaf DW and the alteration of fruit-ripening processes. Our results are not consistent with those by other authors [38][39][40] but are in accordance with Khan et al [41]. The differences observed in the WS sensitivity may be due to the severity of drought.…”

“…These results indicate that water stress reduced the growth parameters due to their harmful effect on photosynthesis, which led to decrease in growth and development of plants, as a result of lake energy production in plant cell. Similar results were detected by Pervez et al (2009), Celebi (2014, and Khan et al (2015) Kheiralla et al (1997) and Kheiralla and Ismail (1995) on wheat.…”

“…The main effect of drought on plants is wilt. As a result of water shortage and this led to reducing growth and yield of plants (Khan et al, 2015). It is observed from the mean values of Figures 1 to 8 that there is a decrease in plant height cm, number of branches, number of cluster per plant, number of flowers per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit set %, average weight of fruit, and fruit yield per plant by 21.4 and 22.8% in both seasons, respectively for plant height, 38.1 and 39.6 for number of branches, 26.5 and 26.9% for number of cluster, as for number of flower the decrease was 19.1 and 18.8%, in both seasons, respectively.…”

“…Another research showed that in severe drought-stress conditions, there was a significant decrease in rubisco activity (Castrillo et al 2001;Calcagno et al 2011) and carbonic anhydrase (Sun et al 2016). Furthermore, a decreased photosynthesis rate due to limited incoming CO 2 caused by stomatal closure occurs in moderate and severe drought-stress tomatoes (Castrillo et al 2001;Khan et al 2015). Decreased morphological and physiological characters seen in plants on drought stress conditions will ultimately reduce the yield.…”
