N2  - Crop plants growing under natural conditions are exposed to several environmental stresses, all affecting plant growth and development, which consequently hampers the productivity of crops plants. Drought is considered the single most devastating environmental stress, which decreases crop productivity more than any other environmental stress. Water stress was given in the potted Vigna radiate plants (for control 1st set - 4 pots were given regular water, for the 2nd set -3 days kept without water in the pot, for the 3rd set -5 days kept without water and for the 4th set -7days kept without water). The plants were then uprooted and collected for experimental work on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd sets respectively for further studies with drought stress. Total chlorophyll and carotenoid decreased under drought stress while protein, amino acid and proline contents increased under stress. Scavenging enzymes catalase and peroxidase were assayed and while catalase activity increased under stress peroxidase activity was found to decrease under stress.
