The participation of the antioxidant system in the drought tolerance of wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied under field and in vitro conditions. Under field conditions, drought tolerance was evaluated by the capacity to maintain the grain yield under drought, which was higher in cvv. Elite and La Paz than in the sensitive cvv. Oasis and Cruz Alta. Tolerant cultivars showed lower relative water content (RWC) and lower above-ground vegetative biomass than sensitive cultivars. Field assays did not show a clear correlation between water-stress tolerance and antioxidant system behaviour. However, when leaves of cvv. with contrasting drought tolerance were subjected to osmotic stress in vitro, clear differences in the antioxidant system activity and oxidative damage between cvv. were observed. In the tolerant cultivar Elite, it was possible to observe an increase in ascorbate peroxidase (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities, a higher glutathione (GSH) and ascorbate content and less oxidative damage than in the sensitive cultivar Oasis, which showed no changes or only slight decreases in the enzyme activities. These results indicate that water stress tolerance is in part associated with the antioxidant system activity, and suggest that the behaviour of the antioxidant systemin vitro assays can be used as an early selection tool.

Climatic variations adversely affect the limited water resources of earth which leads to water stress and influences agricultural production worldwide. Therefore, a novel approach has been introduced to improve the tolerance against water stress in herbaceous nature medicinal plants such as Coriandrum sativum by the usage of nanotechnology (foliar applied nanoparticles of ZnOx) coupled with the application of water deficit irrigation. This is an alternative water saving strategy that proved to be efficient to mitigate the Coriandrum sativum tolerance against water stress regimes for sustainable yield production through the activation of antioxidant system. Thus, the phenomena of green synthesis have been deployed for the formation of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnOx NPs) from the leaf extract of Camellia sinensis L. and zinc acetate dihydrate was used as precursor. Different techniques have been used for the thorough study and confirmation of ZnOx NPs such as UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis) X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Elemental dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The prepared ZnOx NPs exhibit hexagonal wurtzite crystal nature has an average size of 37 nm with high purity. These ZnOx NPs have been further studied for their role in amelioration of water stress tolerance in Coriandrum sativum in a pot experiment. Two levels of water stress regimes were employed, IR75 (moderate) and IR50 (Intense) to evaluate the behavior of plant compared to full irrigation (FI). Results showed that under water stress regimes, the 100 ppm of prepared NPs stimulate the antioxidant system by increasing the activity of catalases (CAT), super oxidases (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzymes and found the maximum at IR50, while the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased due to increase in activity of antioxidative enzymes. Furthermore, chlorophyll content and amount of proline also enhanced by the foliar application of prepared ZnOx NPs under moderate water stress (IR75). The results suggested that all the investigated agronomic attributes significantly increased, including plant biomass and economic yield (EY), compared to non-treated ZnOx NPs plants, except for the number of primary branches and LAI. Further, the 100 ppm of prepared ZnOx NPs have great potential to improve water stress tolerance in Coriandrum sativum by improving the antioxidant enzymes activity that enhance agronomic attributes for high crop productivity that require further research at transcriptomic and genomic level.
