Jakab, J. | Kiraly, I. | Sarvari, E. | Lang, F.
The goal of this study was to reveal the relationship between the stress tolerance capacity and easily recorded physiological responses of wheat varieties with known drought tolerance in the field. The peroxidase activity was lower in varieties with outstanding drought tolerance than in varieties less resistant to water deficiency. The superoxide dismutase activity was similar in both the treated and control plants of all the varieties examined, being only slightly lower than average in treated samples of the most drought-tolerant variety, Fatima.
