Özet

Ever-depleting fresh water resources have forced researchers to search for various different water sources, such as seawater. Therefore, recent studies have focused on water deficits and potential effects of water deficits on biochemical, physiological and molecular characteristics of the plants. In present study, three maize cultivars: (1). 31D24 (Pioneer), (2). ADASA16 (Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute), (3). P1429 (Pioneer) were tested under three different irrigation regimes. Irrigation treatments were arranged as I100, I70 and I35. Dreb2A gene expression, soluble sugars (Glucose, Fructose, and Sucrose) and Proline level were measured. The greatest Dreb2A gene expression was observed in I35 treatment and it was respectively followed by I70 and I100 treatments. The greatest total soluble sugar was also detected in I35treatments of all three maize cultivars. Total sugar content consists of sucrose glucose and fructose sugars. Among these sugars, sucrose had the greatest content and it was respectively followed by glucose and fructose. Proline accumulation was higher in deficit irrigation (I35, I70) treatments. Present findings revealed unique outcomes about the effects of water deficits on biochemical, physiological and molecular network profile of corn cultivars. Such outcomes can also be used in further breeding researches to be carried out on maize cultivars. © by PSP.
