Abstract:   (5 Views)
Lentil is a nutritionally valuable crop for both humans and livestock, yet its production is threatened by environmental stresses, especially drought. Many studies have investigated drought effects in various legume species. In this study, a drought-tolerant genotype (FLIP2002-57L) and a sensitive genotype (FLIP2002-55L) of lentil were exposed to three water regimes (control, 60%, and 30% of field capacity). Morphological, physiological, biochemical traits, and gene expression profiles were examined. The tolerant genotype exhibited higher antioxidant enzyme activity, increased proline accumulation, and enhanced expression of drought-responsive genes. Conversely, the sensitive genotype showed minimal changes in gene expression under drought stress. These results highlight key physiological and genetic adaptations in lentil, offering valuable insights for improving drought resilience in legume crops.
