Assessing Morpho-Physiological and Biochemical Markers of Soybean for Drought Tolerance Potential

Drought stress provokes plants to change their growth pattern and biochemical contents overcome adverse situations. Soybean was grown under 40 (drought) 80% (control) of field capacity (FC) determine the morpho-physiological alterations that occur drought conditions. The experiment conducted following a randomized complete block design with three replications. results showed exerted detrimental effects on photosynthetic attributes, leaf production, pigment water content, plant growth, dry matter production soybean. However, favored producing higher amount proline malondialdehyde in soybean than control. pod seed grain size, yield were also adversely affected by drought, where genotypic variations conspicuous. Interestingly, studied parameters AGS383 minimally drought. This genotype capable maintaining healthier root shoot greater area, preserving greenness cell membrane stability, photosynthesis, absorbing sustaining potential, lower heavier grains make it out yielder both Considering changes morpho-physiological, biochemical, contributing parameters, could be cultivated as relatively drought-tolerant, high-yielding variety. Further study is needed uncover genes responsible for adaptation drought-stress environments, this might used parent material breeding program develop high-yielding, drought-tolerant
