Three cultivars of tomato Pusa Ruby, Arka Vikas and Pusa Early Dwarf were subjected to osmotic stresses induced by mannitol, polyethylene glycol and NaCl in vitro. Polypeptide patterns were analyzed during each stress treatment to differentiate between tolerant and sensitive cultivars. The stresses induced more stress proteins in cv. Pusa Ruby compared to other two cultivars indicating it to be relatively osmotic stress tolerant.
