Tomato Plant Physiological and Biochemical Responses to Water Stress and Rehydration

Six tomato varieties, three local and three commercial, were subjected to two water stress regimes in a greenhouse assay. Physiological and biochemical parameters, including stem water potential, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant capacity, were measured to assess drought response and recovery. The dataset contains the original data for a 2023 study published in Agricultural Water Management.

Use Cases

• Compare drought avoidance and acclimation strategies between local and commercial tomato varieties based on measured physiological parameters.
• Model the relationship between water stress intensity and oxidative damage based on lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species data.
• Analyze recovery trajectories after rehydration based on the return to normal values for gas exchange and biochemical markers.

Strengths

• Original data for a peer-reviewed study published in Agricultural Water Management (2023).
• Includes data for six distinct tomato varieties under controlled stress and rehydration conditions.
• Measures multiple physiological and biochemical response variables, such as stem water potential and antioxidant capacity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset description does not specify the exact number of plants or replicates per variety.
