Abstract

---

Plants have the capacity to adjust under variable environmental conditions. Water is generally considered as one of the limiting factors which affects the physiological and biochemical processes affecting crop productivity (Boyer, 1982). Nucleic acid metabolism has a major role in the overall performance. Experiments were therefore carried out to study the nucleic acid metabolism in drought tolerant / susceptible wheat genotypes grown under water stress conditions.
