Drought tolerance — Echinacea (hybrids)

Hybrids between Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench and Echinacea paradoxa (Norton) Britton

The drought tolerance trait in Echinacea purpurea × Echinacea paradoxa hybrids is inherited from E. paradoxa, whose adaptation to moisture deficit is linked to leaf pubescence, which reduces transpiration.

In the reference 21 varieties crop Hybrids between Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench and Echinacea paradoxa (Norton) Britton, where this is mentioned in the description.

Breeding of Echinacea purpurea × Echinacea paradoxa hybrids relies on the incorporation of the E. paradoxa genotype, which naturally grows in dry soils. Despite the transmission of this trait, modern hybrids often exhibit lower longevity in cultivation compared to the native parent species.

Water stress in plants of this genus causes a reduction in total biomass, suppression of growth processes, and changes in the biochemical composition of the raw material. In research, tolerance is evaluated by measuring markers such as antioxidant enzyme activity, proline levels, and pigment content.
