Еstimation and selection of plasma iodent corn samples on drought-resistance by physiological methods

Abstract

The complex estimation of corn samples on drought-resistance was conducted by physiological methods. It was proven that samples which grown on osmotic solutions of sucrose with the gradual increase of pressure have greater water-retaining ability and greater content of bound-water. Also in the selected samples the less percent of hydrolyzed starch in the cells of root caps was indicated.
