The content of phenolic compounds in Moringa leaves (Fig. L) were increased with increasing the concentration of PEG. The amino acid content in Moringa leaves increased at 5% PEG then decreased gradually at 15, 25, 35 and 45% PEG. Drought stress by PEG has an adverse effect on plumule length, which was reduced steadily by increasing PEG concentration. The lowest of plumule length (3.6 cm) was recorded at 15% PEG which decreased by 60.4% of the control treatment. The germination percentage of M. oleifera seeds increased continuously as PEG concentration was increased up to 15%. The concentration of 15% PEG recorded the maximum of 100 % seed germination which increased by 12.5% over control. The results of RNA content in leaves of M.oleifera are represented in Fig. Q. Statistically, the content of RNA in the leaves of Moringa varied significantly (P< 0.01) in response to different concentrations of PEG.
