Abstract: | Summary Free-proline accumulation was measured in leaves of intact wheat (Triticum vulgare L. cv. Kalyan Sona), plantago (Plantago ovata Forsk-Isabgool), papavar (Papaver somnifera L. Opium poppy) and mustard (Brassica juncea L. var. Varuna) grown in the field with low to high field water content and thus they were subjected to water stress. Leaf water deficit in percentage was used to determine the degree of stress at the time of proline anlysis.Free proline content was higher in mustard leaves as compared to wheat, plantago and papavar leaves. Water stress enhances the proline content but at same water deficit level the content differ in the leaves of the plants studied. |
