The study was conducted on six varieties of cucumber: Napleon, Ampres,
Sendian, Prence, Samara and Baladi. To study the responses of these varieties
to drought stress, on the seed germination and seedling growth under different
Polyethylen glycol
concentrations (0 control, 10 mM, 20 mM and 40 mM PEG).
The results of this research showed a some varieties to its tolerance to drought
stress. The varieties Ampres, Prence and samara showed more resistance to
drought stress. It s indicated with increasing seed germination and growth of
seedlings with the higher concentration of PEG in compared to another
varieties.
