Abstract

Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stress in a agricultural world wide. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of drought stress on yield and water relationship content in sixteen chickpea cultivars. This research was conducted in 2010 to investigate field performance of chickpea cultivars under drought stress and non-stress condition at Ecbatan Research Station of the Agricultural and Natural Resource Research Center of Hamadan Iran. The result showed that the effects of drought stress on seed yield, biological yield, number of second branch and relative water content (RWC) was highly significant. 100 seed weight and number of day to pod filling (DF), were not affected by terminal drought stress in this study. Biological yield, number of secondary branches and 100-Seed (weight), also had positive significant correlations with seed yield. ILC482 has produced the highest yield. Also it has highest water relative content in drought condition. The lowest seed yield and biological yield obtained from Sel93th24469 cultivar
