Relative water content (RWC), leaf water potential (Ψw) and osmotic potential (Ψs), contents of chlorophyll (Chl) a, Chl b, soluble sugars, and seed quality (gum content) were used to evaluate the role of phosphorus in alleviation of the deleterious effect of water deficit in clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub). Under water stress, Ψw, Ψs, and Chl and gum contents decreased and soluble sugar contents increased. Phosphorus application increased Chl and sugar contents in control plants and ameliorated negative effects of water stress.

Keywords: chlorophyll; Cyamopsis tetragonoloba; osmotic and water potentials; relative water content; soluble sugars
Subjects: chlorophyll, soluble sugars, osmotic and water potentials; cluster bean, soluble sugars, osmotic and water potentials; Cyamopsis tetragonoloba; gum content, cluster bean, osmotic and water potentials; osmotic potential, soluble sugars; phosphorus, soluble sugars, osmotic and water potentials; relative water content, soluble sugars, chlorophyll; sugars, soluble, chlorophyll, osmotic and water potentials; water potential, soluble sugars
