Tescilli ekmeklik buğday (Triticum aestivum L.) genotiplerinin kuraklık stresine fizyo-biyokimyasal yanıtları: Enzim aktiviteleri ve metabolit seviyelerindeki değişimler

In this study, physio-biochemical parameters of 7 registered bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes (Gerek 79, Sultan 95, Haymana 79, Grk/Cty, T98-9, Pastor, PM ME1) were investigated under drought stress conditions. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), photosynthetic pigment, total protein, hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxidation (malonyldialdehyde-MDA) and proline levels were determined in this wheat genotypes exposed to different drought duration (3rd, 6th and 10th day). As a result of this study, among 7 different wheat genotypes, Gerek 79 and Haymana 79 genotypes were the most physiologically sensitive to drought. In comparison, Pastor and Sultan 95 genotypes were the most drought-tolerant varieties. In addition, in parallel with the prolongation of the drought period in wheat varieties in general, it was determined that the content of photosynthetic pigments decreased significantly due to oxidative damage, while proline and MDA content increased
