| Abstract | Six cultivars with a range of known field responses to drought were tested in vitro. Firstly, the two on each end of the drought tolerance scale (NCo376, most susceptible and N41, most tolerant) were screened on 204–1493 mM mannitol for % re-rooting after 10 days, following plantlet root trimming. From the results, the LD$_{50}$ and LD$_{90}$ of re-rooting were calculated as 332 and 606 mM mannitol for NCo376 and 851 and 1493 mM mannitol for N41, respectively. These mannitol concentrations were then used as benchmarks for testing four other cultivars. At 606 mM mannitol, % re-rooting in vitro was: N41 (80 ± 10.7), N26 (80 ± 10.7), N36 (60 ± 13.1), N12 (60 ± 13.1), N19 (20 ± 10.7) and NCo376 (13.3 ± 9.1) (p < 0.05). The consequent ‘ranking’ in terms of mannitol tolerance in vitro matched well with those of field observations for drought tolerance, with N41 being the most drought tolerant and NCo376 the most susceptible. Other parameters assessed as possible drought indices such as leaf chlorophyll content (by soil plant analysis development measurements) and histochemical staining were difficult to perform on the small in vitro leaves, and relative electrolyte leakage did not distinguish drought tolerant from susceptible cultivars. Therefore, the re-rooting assessment provides a rapid (3 weeks) ranking measure and has potential application when screening mutagenic and genetically modified lines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
