Abstract
The study was designed for four turfgrass cultivars: Baron,Bonsai 2000,Park,and AridⅢ.Under drought stress,the experiment was conducted to determine the grasses' content of free water,of bound water,and of relative water(RWC),relative electrical conductivity,net photosynthesis(Pn),transpiration rate(Tr),and intercellular CO2 concentration(Ci). The result indicates that different physiological indices show different extent of increases and decreases and the order of drought resistance of the four turfgrass cultivars from high to low is Baron,Bonsai2000,Park,and AridⅢ.
