Abstract
Abstract The nature of the solutes accumulated in the grains of ten finger millet genotypes grown under rain‐fed conditions with moisture stress during panicle and grain development were determined. Although grain yield decreased under stress, the solute potential (SP) of seeds from stressed plants was significantly lower (more negative), probably due to the increase in sucrose content. There were no significant changes in the content of total amino acids, free proline, reducing sugars or potassium. The contribution of sucrose to total solute potential was approximately 32% in seeds obtained from stressed plants as compared with only 15% in seeds from irrigated treatment. The germinability and seedling vigour of the seeds from stressed plants was significantly higher under simulated stress with polyethylene glycol (PEG), but was similar to that of seeds of non‐stressed plants under normal conditions.
