Abstract

The effect of water stress on the chlorophyll contents of the leaves of Pinus roxburghii (Chir pine) were studied under controlled glass house conditions. The total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents decreased with increasing water stress in all seed sources. Gaucher seed source showed maximum values for chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll, while the ratio of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b was maximum for the Sankri seed source.
