Ten varieties of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench were grown as callus cultures under conditions of water stress, which was induced by addition of polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 8000) in the medium. Growth and free proline were estimated in the control and water-stressed cultures. In all varieties, proline levels were low in the absence of water stress and the levels increased in response to water stress. However, the magnitude of these increases were not correlated with stress tolerance of the individual varieties in culture. Thus increase in proline seems to be an incidental consequence of stress in vitro and not an adaptive response to combat water stress in sorghum.
