Abstract:
      Physiological responses of weedy rice and upland rice to drought stress were investigated using weedy rice (heb07-2 and WR04-6) and upland rice (IAPAR9). Changes in physiological parameters of leaves and roots of weedy rice and upland rice at 20% polyethylene glycol 6000(PEG-6000) in an artificial climate chamber were investigated. The results showed that the physiological indexes of leaves and root of weedy rice and upland rice exhibited a different trend except for peroxidase(POD) and proline. The weedy rice heb07-2 leaves and roots had higher activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), ascorbate peroxidase(APX) under drought stress. Due to less injury and membrane l ipid peroxidation, the cell of membrane of weedy rice heb07-2 remained intact. The soluble sugar and soluble protein contents of heb07-2 were higher than those of IAPAR9 and WR04-6 under drought stress. It indicated that weedy rice heb07-2 was less sensitive to drought at seedling stage.
