Exogenous γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced signaling events and field performance associated with mitigation of drought stress in Phaseolus vulgaris L
Reham El-Sayed Farag;
Abstract
Not much information is available to substantiate the possible role of γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA)
signaling in mitigating water-deficit stress in snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants under semiarid
conditions. Present work aims to investigate the role of exogenous GABA (foliar application; 0.5, 1 and
2 mM) in amelioration of drought stress and improvement of field performance on snap bean plants raised
under two drip irrigation regimes (100% and 70% of water requirements). Water stress led to significant
reduction in plant growth, leaf relative water content (RWC), cell membrane stability index (CMSI), nutrient
uptake (N, P, K, Ca, Fe and Zn), pod yield and its content from protein and total soluble solids (TSS).
Meanwhile, lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde content- MDA), osmolyte content (free amino acidsFAA, proline, soluble sugars) antioxidative defense (activity of superoxide dismutase- SOD, catalase- CAT,
peroxidase- POX and ascorbate peroxidase- APX) and the pod fiber content exhibited significantly
increase due to water stress. Exogenous GABA application (especially at 2 mM) revealed partial normalization of the effects of drought stress in snap bean plants. GABA-induced mitigation of drought stress was
manifested by improvement in growth, water status, membrane integrity, osmotic adjustment, antioxidant defense and nutrient acquisition. Furthermore, GABA application during water stress in snap bean
plants resulted in improvement of field performance being manifested by increased pod yield and its
quality attributes. To sum up, exogenous GABA appears to function as an effective priming molecule to
alleviate drought stress in snap bean plants under semiarid conditions
