Abstract
【Objective】This paper aims at probing the relationship between agronomical traits, physi-biochemical traits and drought tolerance of wheat cultivars. 【Method】 A total of 12 traits, including 5 agronomical traits and 7 physi-biochemical traits that measured in 65 wheat cultivars grown at drought shelter and no-irrigation conditions, were analyzed using gray relational grade analysis method. 【Result】 Gray correlation degrees facilitated in identifying the drought tolerance of wheat. They were calculated between each trait and its drought tolerance index and were ranked according to their gray correlation degree to drought tolerance as follows: stomatal conductance (0.7995), photosynthetic rate (0.7909), transpiration rate (0.7556), soluble sugar content (0.7467), MDA content (0.7336), dissociative proline content (0.7267), spike length (0.7102), number of kernel per spike (0.7095), 1000-kernel weight (0.7005), water potential (0.6959), effective tiller number (0.6951), plant height (0.6866). And the cluster based on the weighted drought-tolerance index of cultivars could well represent their bred and applied areas. Cultivars that had the strongest drought tolerance among the 65 cultivars were Luohan 6, Xiaoyan 6, Jinmai 47, Shanmai 168 etc. 【Conclusion】 It was concluded that the physi-biochemical traits related to leaf stomatal had the closest relationship with the drought tolerance of wheat, and these traits were significantly influenced by water stress, thus had the greatest relation degree with drought-tolerance index. So the physi-biochemical traits including stomata conductance, photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate could be used in the trait-based selection of drought tolerance to improve the selection efficiency.
