Abstract:
      To identify the drought resistance ability for different maize varieties and select strong drought resistance varieties accurately, a systematic study about drought resistance was conducted at adult and seedling stages for 8 maize varieties based on field experiment, drought shed and PEG simulating drought stress hydroponic experiment. By investigating and analysis of agronomic characters, physiological indexes and yield characters under threecontrolled water conditions, varieties with better comprehensive drought resistance were screen out. These results showed, under 2 years 5 pilot field tests and 2 years dry shed experiments, the varieties including Jiushenghe 2468, Shandan 650, Lianchuang 825 and MC703 performed large drought resistance index (DRI) with higher yields under drought and irrigation conditions. The DRI for each variety was 0.910, 0.909, 0.907 and 0.873 in the field conditions respectively, which had shorter powder separation (ASI) and more dry matter with higher SPAD. Based on the hydroponic test,the varieties of Shandan 650, Xinyu 335, Jiushenghe 2468 and MC703 were selectedas drought resistant varieties,and its membership was 0.871, 0.697, 0.680 and 0.596, respectively. This group had more developed roots and strong physiological enzymatic activities. Combining the identification results of the first traits (yield, DRI) with the second traits (root, ASI, physiology) under three controlled water conditions, MC703, Jiushenghe 2468 and Shandan 650 were selected as drought resistant varieties.
