چکیده

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-watered (100% field capacity), mild drought stress (75% field capacity), moderate drought stress (55% field capacity), and severe drought stress (35% field capacity). relative water content, dry matter content, osmotic solutes (proline and soluble sugars), antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase and polypolyphenol oxidase), total protein content, and pigments content were investigated. severe drought stress largely increased accumulations of osmotic solutes and peroxidase activity of the most populations, but significantly decreased relative water content, dry matter content, total protein content and polyphenol oxidase activity in the all populations. drought stress significantly decreased pigments content, but increased the ratio of carotenoids to total chlorophylls in the studied populations. the positive relationships were observed among antioxidant enzymes activities, and between contents of osmotic solutes and antioxidant enzymes activities. these findings suggest that populations are characterized by a significantly different tolerance to drought, when drought stress occurs. based on these findings it may conclude that the population 27480 is more tolerant to osmotic stress due to specific antioxidative mechanisms, while the population 18041 was the least tolerant to sever drought stress. it seems that the population 27480 has a higher adoption potential to arid and semi-arid conditions which makes it a candidate of choice in breeding programs.

Effect 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...

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...

Effect of drought stress on some physiological properties and antioxidant activity of Achillea tenuifolia Lam.

Background & Aim: Osmotic stress in plants lead to increase free radicals and plants use different mechanisms to scavenge these radicals. So, researchers apply stresses especially drought stress to increase secondary metabolites such as phenolics, and antioxidants. One of the valuable medicinal plants is yarrow (Achillea tenuifolia) which is a perennial plant with different medicinal a...
