Determination of drought tolerance of pepper varieties by changes in physiological and biochemical parameters

Key Points

• Drought tolerance is assessed through various physiological parameters, with key findings showing significant alterations in plant responses.
• A crucial metric observed is the variation in chlorophyll content and leaf water potential across different pepper varieties under drought conditions.
• Analysis of physiological and biochemical parameters reveals how different pepper varieties respond to water stress, guiding future agricultural practices.
• These findings highlight the need for further research on drought-tolerant varieties to enhance crop resilience, especially under climate change.
