Abstract

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of drought stress on some quality traits of tomato, seven tomato lines were assessed in an experimental field at Ilam University at 2016. The layout was split into plots according to randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 levels of drought stress including 100, 60% and 40% of field capacity (FC) with 3 replications. The genotypes were including Kingstone, Peto Early، Bitstoik, LA1607, LA2656, LA2080 and LA1579. The effect of mild and severe drought stress on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including peroxidase (POX), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were investigated. The statistical analysis showed that drought stress significantly affected all assessed traits Under drought condition, APX, CAT, chlorophyll content and RWC were reduced, but, proline and MAD content as well as electrolyte leakage were increased and the highest content was observed under severe drought stress (FC %40). The genotypes LA1607, LA2656, LA2080 and LA1579 identified as the most tolerant and King stone, Peto early and Bitstoik were the most susceptible genotypes.
