Physiological and Biochemical Evaluations for Identification of Drought Tolerance Potential in Doum Palms (Hyphaene Compressa) under Water Deficit Treatment

Abstract

first step in understanding how doum palms react to harsh water conditions. Physiological and biochemical characteristics such as RLWC, MSI, leaf proline, TSS, TFAA, glycine betaine, and starch content are indicators when prospecting for drought tolerance doum palms.
