Figure 10

The percentage (%) reduction in leaf relative water content (RWC) and membrane stability index (MSI) of the drought stress treated plants (T24) over the control (C24) or well-watered plants for seven different genotypes, namely ICC 4958, ICC 8261, ILWC 292, ICC 1882, SBD 377, ICC 283 and Pusa 362. ILWC 292 belongs to the wild species C. reticulatum, while the remaining six genotypes belong to the cultivated chickpea species, C. arietinum. ICC 4958, ICC 8261, ILWC 292, Pusa 362 are drought tolerant and ICC 1882, SBD 377 and ICC 283 are drought sensitive. Data for RWC and MSI were recorded for the C24 and T24 plants on 117 DAS. An average value of five biological replicates/genotype/treatment (n = 5) were used for both the traits, to plot the line graphs. Vertical lines represent the mean ± SE.
