Abstract:
      The response of the index of germination potential, germination rate, the ratio of root shoot, dry matter translocation rate to osmotic stress of four barley genotypes was studied with adoption of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% (W/V) PEG8000 solution as drought stress treatment and the drought res istance and screening index of drought resistance of four barley genotypes were evaluated in this paper. The results showed that, along with the increase of osm otic stress, the inhibitory effect on seed germination was significant; the resp onse of index to water stress was conflicting; the suitable PEG8000 concentratio n for drought resistance identification was 20%; the length of radicle, the leng th of germ, the dry weight of germ and dry matter translocation rate could be us ed as effective and fast indicators for drought resistance of barley during germ ination stage; the drought-resistant ability of four genotypes was as as follow s: Z027S078T, Z182U038V, Z037P017Q-1 and Z039P046Q.
