Varying water deficit stress (WDS) tolerance in grain amaranths involves multifactorial shifts in WDS-related responses

Abstract: In this study, water deficit stress (WDS)-tolerance in several cultivars of grain amaranth species (Amaranthus hypochondriacus [Ahypo], A. cruentus [Acru] and A. caudatus [Acau]), in addition to A. hybridus (Ahyb), an ancestral amaranth, was examined. Ahypo was the most WDS-tolerant species, whereas Acau and Ahyb were WDS-sensitive. Data revealed that the differential WDS tolerance observed was multifactorial. It involved increased proline and raffinose (Raf) in leaves and/ or roots. Higher foliar Raf coincide… Show more
