3.1.3. Proline Contents
The results regarding proline content revealed that mean proline content
under 100% FC 0.828 were observed. Similarly under drought stress
condition 80% FC the mean value for proline content 1.433 was recorded.
Likewise in drought stress 60% the mean value for proline content 2.509
was recorded shown in (Table1 and Fig 3.). The results indicate that
proline content was increased under drought stress condition as compared
to control condition. As drought condition were increased the proline
content were also increased. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) regarding
proline content revealed that the effect of drought stress and response
the genotypes were highly significant and the interaction of genotypes
and different level of drought stress were also highly significant as
shown in (Table 2). The least significant difference (LSD) regarding
proline content showed that in 100% FC the proline content are not
significantly different and maximum proline content 0.872 were recorded
for genotype SD-28 followed by SD-32 wheat genotype. Similarly under
drought stress 80% FC the maximum proline content 1.667 was recorded
for stay green chirya-1 genotype followed by SD-32. Similarly in drought
stress 60% FC the maximum proline content 3.091 was recorded for Opata
genotype followed by stay green chirya-1 genotype as shown in (Table 3).
The results clearly demonstrated that drought stress could improve
proline content and different genotypes have different response to
various drought levels.
