To study this, research was conducted in a greenhouse in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications disasters. The first factor included stress levels and the second-factor included genotypes. Methodology: To apply Drought stress methanol was used. Seeds were planted in plastic pots in greenhouse conditions and plants irrigation was done by Hoagland nutrient solution. The proline and chlorophyll of shoots were measured by the end of the growth stage. Results: Results suggested that genotype No. 4 with a mean of 19.25 had the highest rate of chlorophyll and genotype No. 1 with a mean of 13.25 had the lowest chlorophyll rate. Results indicated that Drought stress application could decrease chlorophyll rate while it increases proline rate. Conclusion: Decrease in plant chlorophyll decreases the photosynthetic activity. Increase in proline along with the increase in Drought level specifies the osmotic balance maintenance in low water potential. Results generally showed that increase in proline production as an osmotic regulatory mechanism in high Drought levels which decreases the seedling growth.References
