Drought-induced Biochemical changes in Chickpea
By : Surya Nayar, Vineet Soni, Sunita Parihar
Page No: 101-105
Abstract
A comparative study was carried out to study the modifications in various metabolites such as soluble protein, proline, reducing sugar, starch, total chlorophyll and relative leaf water content in two varieties (C-235 and BG-391) of C. arietinum growing under in vivo drought stress. Both varieties of chickpea exhibited differential responses under water limiting condition. Variety C-235 responds well by up/ down regulating the biosynthesis of metabolites to cope up with drought stress and was found suitable for drought prone areas.
