Effect of Water Stress on the Chlorophyll Contents of the Leaves of Pinus roxburghii Sarg. of Different Seed-sources at Seedling Stage

Ruchi Saxena, Subhash Nautiyal

Abstract

The effect of water stress on the chlorophyll contents of the leaves of Pinus roxburghii (Chir pine) were studied under controlled glass house conditions. The total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents decreased with increasing water stress in all seed sources. Gaucher seed source showed maximum values for chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll, while the ratio of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b was maximum for the Sankri seed source.
