Abstract
Two drought tolerant varieties TKM-1 and TKM-2 and two drought susceptible varieties Jaya and Improved Sabarmati of rice were studied for soluble protein pattern and isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, esterase and peroxidase during germination at different water stress. MDH, GDH and esterase patterns were not affected, but the soluble proteins were changed. Peroxidase isoenzyme pattern from drought tolerant and susceptible varieties showed characteristic differences. The intensity of bands with higher electrophoretic mobility decreased in Jaya and Improved Sabarmati while in TKM-1 and TKM-2 the intensity of these bands did not change much after 72 hr water stress. In shoots of Jaya and Improved Sabarmati, the activity of the peroxidase isoenzymes decreased more than in TKM-1 and TKM-2 shoots with increase in water stress.
