tissue, the membrane of which is the primary targets
during oxidative stress induced photo oxidation.
4 Conclusion
Proline synthesis and accumulation was increased due
to water deficit stress especially in 50 per cent
depletion of ASM in all the twelve banana cultivars
and hybrids. But higher proline acculmulation were
present in tolerant cultivars and hybrids of
Karpuravalli, Karpuravalli x Pisang Jajee, Saba, and
Sannachenkathali with lesser reduction in PPO
enzyme activity due to water deficit of banana
cultivars and hybrids.
