【 摘 要 】

The agronomic and physiological traits, drought tolerance indexes, principal component analysis and Ward`s method were applied to assess the differences among 20 wheat genotypes in response to drought. Statistically significant correlation was observed for measured traits. Drought susceptibility index (DSI), stress tolerance index (STI) and stress index (SI) were most useful to identify genotypes differing in their response to drought. Utility of the indexes was confirmed by physiological markers of drought tolerance i.e. membrane injury and leaf water status. Variation of the genotypes in biomass and grain yield during drought stress was also verified by clustering methods. Finally, integration of physiological and statistical methods presented in this work, allows to both, indicate that tolerance to drought in wheat has a common genetic background, and select the most diverse genotypes. Based on the results, we recommend a tool for breeders, useful to select the genotypes resistant and sensitive to drought.
