Osmoregulatory Appraisal of Some Osmoprotectants on Hydrolytic Activities of Some Enzymes on Seeds of Two Water Stressed Cultivars of Sorghum bicolor (Moench)

Enzymes play significant roles in metabolic processes of seeds. Therefore, this study evaluated osmoregulatory potential some osmoprotectants on activities hydrolytic enzymes the seeds two cultivars (SOSAT.C-88 and CV. LCIC 9702) sorghum bicolor. Matured were harvested prepared for alpha, beta, total amylase proteinase assay. The produced variations at 10 14 days (DA) 8 weeks after treatments (WAT). Seeds well-watered SOSAT.C-88 higher alpha (2.10 IU/ml), beta (1.70 IU/ml) (3.30 (DA). Higher (2.01 IU/ml (2.61 recorded 9702 DA 8WAT. Furthermore, (3.87 by DA. Significant increase was noticed (1.14 (1.58 treated with mycorrhiza. well watered highest (1.57 U/ml) while least parameters droughted. In conclusion, had regulatory effects therefore use farming should be encouraged.
