Abstract:
      The experiment was carried out with 13 transgenic inbred lines of maiz e under the polyethylene glycol (PEG) simulated water stress to study the impact of osmotic stress on seed germination. The results showed that the germination potential, germination rate, root number, radicle length, plumule length and tra nsforming rate of storage substance in maize were affected by drought stress to different extend, and there existed significant differences in drought resistanc e among different inbred lines. The quantitative evaluation by using subordinate function method indicated that SD10 was the inbred line with high drought-resis tance; CBF-3-4, SD13, SD05, CBF-1-4, CBF-6-5, SD-P3 and SD-P5 were the inbred li nes with mid drought-resistance; and SD06, CBF-3-1, SD07, SD-P1 and SD-P4 were the inbred lines with low drought-resistance. The analysis results obtained by grain drought resistant index (GDRI) were similar to those by subordinate function method.
