IMPACT OF WATER DEFICIT STRESS ON BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PIGEONPEA CULTIVAR
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted using split plot design with the four irrigation level and the biochemical traits like chlorophyll content, carotenoid, protein, free amino acid, proline and glycine betaine were determined. The biochemical parameters like chlorophyll content, carotenoids content and protein significantly decreased under the water stress condition. Significantly highest accumulation of other biochemical parameters such as glycine-betaine, proline and amino acid increased under the stress condition compared to irrigation condition. Among all the six genotypes, GT-102 showed higher seed yield which was followed by C-11 due to accumulation of glycine- betaine and proline was higher under the water stress condition. Thus it enabled the genotype to thrive better in the water stress condition and produce higher yield under water deficient.
