Impact of Two Strains of on the Adaptation to Terminal Water Deficit of Two Cultivars .

Drought stress has become one of the most uncontrolled and unpredictable constraints on crop production. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impacts of two different strains on terminal drought tolerance induction in two faba bean genotypes cultivated in Algeria, Aquadulce and Maltais. To this end, we measured physiological parameters-osmoprotectants accumulation, oxidative stress markers and enzyme activities-to assess the effect of inoculation on under terminal water deficiency conditions in greenhouse trials.
