Water regime and photosynthetic ability of winter wheat in drought conditions

The authors investigated the features of water regime, protein content and chloroplast photosynthetic activity in the leaves of winter wheat of the Barakatli 95, Garagylchyg 2, Azamatli and Giimatli 2/17 varieties in drought conditions. It was revealed, that stabile photosynthetic activity of chloroplasts at the resistant genotype is conditioned by high relatively water content, low water deficit and enhanced protein content in leaves during drought period.
