Abstract

The physiological and molecular responses of maize seedlings (Zea mays L.) to 5-d soil drought and subsequent rewatering (24, 48 h) were studied. To this end, plant water status, leaf growth, photosynthesis and transpiration, metabolism of carbohydrates and proline, MDA and pigment content were determined. The changes observed in carbohydrate metabolism and proline content under drought and rewatering might be important mechanisms maintaining water status of plants and main physiological functions.
