Cotton, the white gold is also known as the king of fiber crops and is the main raw material for textile industry. The productivity in our country is lower as nearly 65 percent of cotton is grown as rainfed which is characterized by uneven insufficient rainfall coupled with drought. In rainfed condition cotton crop frequently encounters stresses usually during reproductive phase that adversely affect growth, development and productivity. The results indicated that stress condition influence various morphological and physio- biochemical characters and also their relationship with yield....

Crop development and productivity are affected by water stress in a variety of ways. The majority of responses had a negative influence on production. Compatible solutes rescue plants during intense water deficit conditions. Glycine betaine (GB) and Putrescine (Put) are main solutes, playing role in improving plant water status and ultimately the crop yield. Under field water stress condition, the effect of exogenously applied osmolytes such as Glycine betaine (GB) and Putrescine (Put) on physio-biochemical traits, yield and attributing parameters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was examined....
