| Abstract: | Summary The reduction in growth in the dark of leaf dises floated over polyethylene glycol 6000 solution of water potential −0.4 MPa,
relative to the growth of similar leaf dises floated over water for the same period, varied in the range 10–87% in 28 genotypes.
The growth reductions in the genotypes tested were in general agreement with what is known about their drought resistance.
