JF - American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences VL - 2 IS - 3 DO - 10.3844/ajabssp.2007.136.141 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajabssp.2007.136.141 AB - Two cultivars of Glycine max (L) Merril. (TGX536-02D and TGX 923-2E designated cv.A and cv.B respectively), were subjected to water stress for a period of 7 days at the vegetative (T2), flowering/fruiting (T3) and seed development (T4) stages of growth, with a control (T1). Stress was considered moderate at T2 stage (ψw : -1.53 to -1.57 MPa) and severe at T3and T4 stages (ψw : -2.23 to -2.67 MPa). Leaf water potential (ψw) and relative water content (RWC) were significantly reduced (p
