Abstract:
Drought is one of the most serious problems for agriculture. The aim of this study is to explore tolerant wheat genotypes under drought conditions. One of the practical methods for identification of tolerant wheat genotype is the use of Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG 6000). In this research four genotypes (D92, C80,AIOI5,F46) are introduced and four water stress treatments (0 MPa,- 0.5MPa,-0.75 MPa, and -1.0 MPa.) have been carried out for creating drought conditions. Results have indicated that genotypes' drought stress levels and their interactions have enormous effects on seed germination, shoot length, root percentage and their fresh and dry weight. Out of the tested genotypes F46 and AIOI5 proved to be drought stress tolerant. However, D92 was sensitive to water stress at germination stage while C80 demonstrated average indices.
