Abstract
Effect of water stress at -1, -3, and -5xl05Pa osmotic potential on some properties of acid phosphatase has been studied in two wheat cultivars. Acid phosphatase from S-308 cultivar, which is less drought resistant than C-306, was less susceptible under varying conditions of pH and temperature treatments.
