Abstract
Investigations were carried out at Department of Biochemistry, B. A.
College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand to study the
biochemical and physiological characterizations of two maize genotypes
(resistant and susceptible) procured from Main Maize Research Station, Godhra
and benzyladanine treatment given to seed followed by artificial drought at 15
days after sowing. Various biochemical and physiological parameters, isozymes
study, protein analysis through SDS-PAGE and SSR analysis were analyzed.
Biochemical analysis was carried out for moisture, total carbohydrates, total
soluble sugars, reducing sugars, true protein, total chlorophylls, proline and free
amino acids and various isozymes viz., peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase,
protein characterization through electrophoresis and SSR. Total chlorophylls,
true protein and moisture content were decreased while total carbohydrates, total
soluble sugars,
