Investigation on the relationship of proline with wheat anti-drought under soil water deficits.
Proline (content) is closely with plant anti-drought, especially under soil water deficits. Many reports from crops and other plants have proved this. Wheat is the second important crop on the globe, whose research in this aspect of importance for food quality, safety, and yield in field. The related difference in physiological indicators and proline content for different soil water treatments among wheat with different genotypes is not clear, which has limited deep study of wheat anti-drought molecular biology and related anti-drought biotechnological breeding. Our current study was focused on the physiological relationship of proline and different genotype wheat anti-drought under soil water deficits. Main results showed that different wheat genotype had different soil water stress threshold. Pro content had closed relationship with soil water stress threshold and wheat anti-drought. Developmental course also impacted Pro content for different wheat genotypes.
