In order to identify drought-resistant maize varieties,fifteen maize genotypes were adopted as
experimental materials and were planted in severe drought and well-watered conditions.The plant height,stem diameter,ear length,ear weight,numbers of ear rows and grains per row,diameters of ear and axis,bald tip length,100-grain weight,and grain yield were measured under the two contrasted treatments at
mature stage.The drought resistance of different maize varieties at maturity was evaluated by a series of
methods,including correlation analysis,principal component analysis,membership function,cluster
analysis and other methods.The results showed that severe drought stress exerted significant effect on
plant height,stem diameter,ear length,kernel number,ear weight and 100-grain weight.Generally,there
were significant correlations among 11 indexes in this study.Principal component analysis showed that 5
principal components could represent 87.27% of the original information of maize resistance.According
to the comprehensive evaluation value of drought resistance(D),the tested maize materials could be
divided into 4 drought resistant classes.ClassⅠ was highly drought-resistant type,including Baiqing 161andZhongyuandan32.ClassⅡwasdrought-resistant type,includingGuiqingzhu,A18/H237andNorth
16/5996.ClassⅢwasmoderate drought-resistant type,including C5/A18,Baiqing 131,5178/1519,J112/1528,6522/1522,H14/599-2 andH237/1506.ClassⅣwas drought susceptible type,including
Baiqing178,J152/1506,andA3/A28.
