Abstract

Drought is considered as most devastated environmental constraint which limits yield and productivity in rainfed rice ecosystem. Precise physiological introspection under water stress condition provides information regarding genetic variability, which helpful for effective breeding programmes. The current research initiates to screening out some popular short-grain aromatic rice germplasm from Koraput valley of Eastern Ghats to drought tolerance. Significant reduction of plant biomass, dry matter accumulation, leaf area, relative water content, CO2 photosynthetic rate, transpiration, stomatal conductance and water use efficiency were observed in studied rice seedlings under drought stress over to control plants. In addition, alteration of PSII photochemical activity was recorded under drought in studied genotypes. There was losing of sigmoidal shape of O-J-I-P transients noticed under drought stress. A pronounced increase of some antioxidant enzymes activities in some aromatic rice landraces under drought condition indicates its detoxification ability to oxidative stress. Based on PCA and cluster analysis some aromatic rice genotypes like Deulabhoga, Lactimachi, Sapuri showed 93% similarity with N22 and present in one cluster. These genotypes showed better growth, photosynthesis, and efficient antioxidant defence compared to IR64 (drought susceptible) during early growth stage. These identified genotypes might be evaluated in future for their genetic diversity and molecular mechanism towards drought tolerance for using in future crop breeding program.
