evaluation of physiological characteristics related to water deficit in some genotypes of sesame (sesamum indicum l.)
Authors
abstract
investigation of physiological responses to water deficit in sesame (sesamum indicum l.) genotypes can help to identify effective mechanisms of plant resistance to stress. therefore, chlorophyll content, proline, soluble carbohydrates, net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, maximum quantum efficiency (fv/fm), plant height and shoot dry weight in a complete block factorial pot experiment with three replications were conducted at the college of agriculture, isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran. four levels of irrigation included irrigation when the soil, water potential of pots was approximately -0.2 mpa (control) =w1, -0.5 mpa (low water deficit) =w2, -1.0 mpa (intermediate water deficit) =w, and -1.4 mpa (severe water deficit) =w4 and 12 sesame genotypes. the highest reduction in chlorophyll content (46%) in the severe water deficit and the genotype was non-branching naz. net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, total chlorophyll content and maximum quantum efficiency (fv/fm) were decreased by 43.8%, 39.6%, 46.6% and 17.7%, respectively, compared to control. proline and soluble carbohydrate content of sesame genotypes was increased by 129.8% and 35.6%, respectively, under severe water deficit compared to control. plant height and plant dry weight decreased with severe water deficit by 21.5% and 52%, respectively, due to severe water deficit. severe water deficit, with negative effects on photosynthetic systems by limiting stomatal conductance and reduce the net photosynthesis rate, was due to the decrease in maximum quantum efficiency. decrease in maximum quantum efficiency on one side and the chlorophyll content reduction in other side, reduces the photosynthetic production and reduce the yield (dry matter) per genotypes.

full textphysiological and Biochemical responses of different sesame (sesamum indicum) genotypes under salinity stress
Sesame seeds are a good source for food and health due to their protein and unsaturated fatty acids and secondary metabolites such as lignans. Soil and water salinity is one of the most important factors limiting the growth of this crop. By examining the physiological reactions related to salinity tolerance among different landraces and cultivars, tolerant and sensitive cultivars can be selecte...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is known as the king of oil seeds in Vietnam due to the high oil content (50 – 60%) of its seed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate morphology of sesame from different origins. Seventeen sesame varieties originating from El Salvador, Tanzania, Kenya, India, Cambodia and Vietnam were studied. The field experiment was carried out in the Mekong Delta region, Viet...

Despite the high potential of sesame production in the country, its yield and water use efficiency is low. Therefore, identifying genotypes with high grain yield, especially under drought stress conditions, is essential for developing this crop. For this purpose, field experiments were conducted to investigate the qualitative and quantitative response of 21 sesame genotypes to drought stress co...
