Abstract: | Carboxylase activity of the key enzyme of carbon metabolism, ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO; EC 4.1.1.39), and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31), as well as the intensity of carbon dioxide photosynthetic assimilation in young seedlings and adult leaves of the wheat Triticum aestivum L. cultivars Mironovskaya 808 (a more tolerant) and Lyutestsens758 (a less tolerant), were compared under conditions of progressive water deficiency. The water stress had more pronounced negative effects on all the studied characteristics of the photosynthetic apparatus of the cultivar Lyutestsens758. Its seedlings were more sensitive to water stress. Compounds with a cytokinin activity (6-benzylaminopurine, thidiazuron, kartolin 2, and kartolin 4) played a protective role, increasing the stability of the photosynthetic apparatus under conditions of water deficiency. Preparations of kartolins displayed the maximum protective effect. |
