Title : Response of Shoot and Root Development of Seven Tomato Cultivars in Hydrophonic System under Water Stress

Authors : Kamrun Nahar, Ralph Gretzmacher

Abstract : The Experiment with nutrient solution was conducted in the glasshouse of the University of Applied and life Science, Vienna, Austria to evaluate the effect of water stress on root and shoot development of seven tomato cultivars. The stress levels were 20, 25 and 30 minutes (withholding water) as low, medium and severe stress. The experiment revealed that the cultivars BR-4 and BR-5 showed comparatively tolerance to drought as their root length, root dry weight and root/shoot ratio were higher under water stress condition (30 minute stress)
