Abstract

Seven pearl millet hybrids were grown under irrigated and terminal water stress conditions to study the variations in different biochemical parameters with response to drought stress and natural condition. The significant decrease in chlorophyll content and increase in carotenoid content in both the stages was observed under terminal water stress condition as compared to irrigated condition in all the hybrids tested. All the hybrids accumulated higher proline under stress condition as compared to irrigated condition. Free proline accumulation and higher grain yield under drought conditions.
