Detection of drought tolerant sugarcane genotypes (Saccharum officinarum) using lipid peroxidation, antioxidant activity, glycine-betaine and proline contents

Abstract: Thirteen genotypes of sugarcane were exposed to different drought stress intensities followed by a period of stress relief. Different biomarkers were used to analyze the stress tolerance in leaves which include DPPH activity, proline, glycine betaine, lipid peroxidation and phenolic contents against different doses of Polyethylene glycol. Relatively the concentrations of all biochemical markers were increased when PEG concentration was increased. On the basis of lipid peroxidation, glycine betaine and proline … Show more

“…Increase in proline levels ~20%, as compared to control during the entire period of applied stress suggested effective osmotic adjustment contributing to osmotic stress tolerance in niger. The observed proline levels in niger were in consonance with those of drought stressed sugar cane (Abbas et al, 2014) and corn cultivars (Sinay and Karuwal, 2014) (Table 1).…”

“…Several studies have already conducted to compare sugarcane cultivars under well-watered and water deficit conditions in pots (Machado et al, 2009;Carlin and Santos, 2009;Pincelli and Silva, 2012;Abbas et al, 2014) and the field (Gava et al,. 2011;Boaretto et al, 2014) in order to identify drought-tolerant cultivars to be planted in soils that are prone to water deficit.…”

“…Levels of chlorophyll a, b, total and also leaf greenness declined after a period of drought stress. Allegedly, an amino acid that was synthesized by the tissue, with the help of NRA, more focused to synthesize secondary metabolites such as phenols, proline and antioxidant because the compounds were needed to protect the cells from damage during drought stress period (Chakraborty and Pradhan, 2012;Abbas et al, 2014;Beig et al, 2014). The decrease in chlorophyll content during drought stress period was caused by high sunlight energy capture and low water content so that the chloroplast became vulnerable to damage (Biglary et al, 2011;Dastan et al, 2011;Rahimi et al, 2012;Bharwana et al, 2013).…”
