Abstract
Decrease in soil water potential during vegetative and flowering stage s of two cultivars of pipeon pea (Cajanus cajan) caused higher decreas e in relative water content in cv. ICPL-151 than in CV. H-77-216. Both cultivars showed partial recovery during rehydration. Cv. H-77-216 al so accumulated more proline and carbohydrates during stress and showed better drought tolerance than cv. ICPL-151.
