Abstract: In this study, the relationships between different irrigation regimes
and drought resistance parameters were investigated in Prunus mahaleb L. Three Prunus mahaleb L. rootstocks genotypes
with high rooting capacity and SL 64 clonal rootstock were used. Four different
irrigation regimes were applied (I1= completing water deficient to
field capacity, I2= 70% of I1 application, I3=
40% of I1 application, I4= 10% of I1
application) in drought tests. We found significant positive important
relationships (correlation coefficient) between increased irrigation regimes
and leaf area (0.606), plant length (0.585), plant diameter (0.584),
chlorophyll a (0.485), chlorophyll b (0.613), total chlorophyll (0.532), pH
(0.415), stomata diameter (0.558), stomata length (0.538), stomata number
(0.856). It is found negative
significant relationships between increased irrigation regimes and abscisic
acid content (-0.344) and it is calculated insignificant relationships total
sugar (-0.064) and total starch (0.008).
