Abstract
Although single short periods of drought or moderate wilting increased growth, grain yield and grain CP content, repeated short droughts and moderate wilting had the opposite effect. Foliar sprays of 100 p.p.m. IAA or NAA or 1000 p.p.m. tryptophan increased the numbers of primordial and elongated roots/plant. Degradation of auxin by X-ray irradiation reversed this effect. It was concluded that short drought treatment or moderate wilting increased auxin content and it was suggested that the increased N conc. in soil during drought was also involved
