Abstract
The study on drought resistance of four hybrids in seedling emergence stage and in seedling stage showed that there were obvious drought resistance differences among the hybrids. The higher drought resistance hybrids kept high viability and percentage of germination, photosynthetic rate and transpire rate under water stress while the lower drought resistance hybrids were decreased seriously. The results showed that evaluation based on these indexes could reflect the drought resistance traits of maize in seedling emergence stage and seedling stage.
