Mechanisms of Drought Resistance in Grain Legumes I: Osmotic Adjustment
When crops are exposed to drought there is commonly an increase in solute-pool of the plant tissue. A series of experiments were conducted in 1994 and 1995 in the University of Hohenheim, Germany, to evaluate whether drought-induced solute accumulation per se will improve drought resistance, to determine the species of active osmotica involved, and to identify alternative mechanisms in grain le...
متن کاملMechanisms of drought response in Thuja occidentalis L. I. Water stress conditioning and osmotic adjustment.
We investigated the extent of osmotic adjustment and changes in transpiration rate that occur in response to repeated cycles of water deficit stress in 6-year-old Thuja occidentalis L. (eastern white cedar) trees. Groups of trees were water-stress conditioned by repeated exposure to predetermined thresholds of nonlethal water stress by withholding water until the predawn water potential fell to...
متن کاملPatterns of osmotic adjustment in pigeonpea — its importance as a mechanism of drought resistance
Osmotic adjustment (OA) is considered as an important physiological mechanism of drought adaptation in many crop plants. The present investigation was aimed at assessing the importance of OA in improving productivity under drought. Using two automated rain-out shelters, 26 extra-short-duration pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] genotypes were grown with irrigation during the growth period o...
متن کاملEffect of Drought in the Osmotic Adjustment of Cotton Plants
Water is crucial for crop growth and productivity. Cotton metabolism and yield are compromised under drought conditions, especially at flowering stage. Differences in drought tolerance exist among cultivars but the metabolic reasons for this that could be used to find traits for enhancing drought tolerance have not been clearly elucidated. Under drought stress, osmotic adjustment occurs in plan...
متن کاملEffects of drought on osmotic adjustment, antioxidant enzymes and pigments in wild Achillea tinctoria populations
Drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting the survival and growth of plants in the different habitats of Iran. Detailed knowledge about the ecophysiological responses of native plants to drought stress could contribute to the success of breeding and re-vegetation programs. Six wild populations of Anthemis tinctoria, were assigned to four drought treatments, i.e. well...
