Abstract: | Five popularly grown mulberry cultivars (K-2, MR-2, TR-10, BC2-59 and S-13) were subjected to drought stress by withholding
irrigation, to obtain leaf water potentials (Ψw) ranging from −0.75, −1.50 and −2.25 MPa. Accumulation of proline, glycine betaine and abscisic acid (ABA) were quantified
in control and water stressed mulberry leaves. The activities of enzymes involved in proline accumulation including glutamate
dehydrogenase (EC1.4.1.2-4), pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (EC 1.2.1.41), pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (EC1.5.1.2),
ornithine transaminase (EC 2.6.1.13) were significantly enhanced in the leaves of all the cultivars with decreasing leaf water
potentials, while the activities of proline dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.2) were reduced with progressive increase in water stress.
Accumulation of proline, glycine betaine and abscisic acid was relatively higher in S-13 and BC2-59 compared to K-2, MR-2
and TR-10 under water deficit conditions. Our results demonstrate that S-13 and BC2-59 have superior osmoprotectant mechanisms
under water-limited growth regimes. |
