The drought resistance of black locust (Robiniapseudoacacia L.) seedlings was increased by pretreatment of seeds with 250 ppm paclobutrazol. Treated seeds produced seedlings with thick roots and higher root/shoot ratios. During osmotic stress, treated plants displayed greater relative water content, lower electrolyte leakage, and fewer symptoms of wilt when compared with untreated black locust seedlings. Paclobutrazol-treated seedlings accumulated more proline than untreated seedlings in response to drought. However, osmotically induced accumulation of putrescine, a possible marker of cellular stress, was reduced in the treated plants.
