ABSTRACT This study was conducted to ascertain drought tolerance in sorghum genotypes. Seedlings of locally cultivated sorghum were screened for drought tolerance by assessing percentage relative water content (R WC) after progressive water deficit. Plant biomass, root/shoot ratio, tolerance index, relative water content (RWC) were measured during harvest. Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), chlorophyll and praline content were quantified....
