physiological characteristics of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) cultivars under drought stress and nitrogen fertilizer as starter
Authors
abstract
drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stress treatment stand as main plots in three levels consist of no drought stress (complete irrigation), moderate drought stress (irrigation at planting and early flowering) and severe drought stress (no irrigation). nitrogen fertilizer in two levels (0 and 25kg n/ha) and cultivar treatment (four cultivars azad, bivanij, hashem and ilc482) allocated in sub plots. the results showed that effects of drought stress treatments were significant on proline content, amount of soluble sugar, membrane stability index (msi), relative water content (rwc), chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total chlorophyll and excised-leaf water loss (rwl). application of nitrogen fertilizer treatment only significantly increased membrane stability index (msi). effect of cultivar treatment was significant on proline, soluble sugar, membrane stability index (msi), chlorophyll-a, total chlorophyll, relative water content (rwc) and excised-leaf water loss (rwl). results showed that with increase of drought stress level amounts of chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, total chlorophyll, relative water content (rwc) and membrane stability index (msi) decreased while proline content and soluble sugar increased by three and two-fold compared to control, respectively. this osmoprotectant accumulation probably explains increase in plant tolerance to drought stress.

GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)
Genetic diversity of 27 chickpea genotypes was studied through Mahalanobis D and Principal Component analysis. The genotypes under study fall into five clusters. The cluster II contained the highest number of genotypes (11) and Cluster I contained the lowest. Cluster I produced the highest mean value for number of pods per plant. The inter cluster distances were much higher than the intra clust...

Chickpea, the second most important legume crop, suffers major yield losses by terminal drought stress (DS). Stronger root system is known to enhance drought yields but this understanding remains controversial. To understand precisely the root traits contribution towards yield, 12 chickpea genotypes with well-known drought response were field evaluated under drought and optimal irrigation. Root...

In this study, the reaction of germination and plantlet growth different chickpea cultivars (Arman, Azad, Binalood and Hashem) in relation to osmotic stress due to polyethylene glycol solution (-2, -4, -6 and -8bar) and control (distilled water) using factorial design in completely randomized with four replications was evaluated. In this study, there was a significant difference between the dif...

Variation in osmotic adjustment (OA) among chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars has been observed when exposed to terminal drought, but some studies suggest that this benefits yield while others suggest it does not benefit yield in water-limited environments. In the present study, parents differing in OA were crossed and a set of advanced breeding lines (ABLs) developed for yield testing. Th...
