Abstract:15% polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) was used to simulate drought stress,the germination rate,germination energy,germination index,and seedling growth index of 12 wild Bromus inermis germplasms collected from different regions on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang were measured.And the relative value of each index was taken as evaluation index of drought resistance,the drought resistance of B.inermis germplasms were evaluated with subordinate function method.The results showed that the germination rate,germination energy,and germination index of B.inermis germplasms decreased generally under 15% PEG stress,and the growth of germ and radicle was inhibited.According to the comprehensive evaluation of subordinate function method,B10,B11 and B12 showed a strong drought resistance,B01,B02,B04,B05,B06,B07,B08 and B09 showed a medium drought resistance,and B03 showed a weak drought resistance at germination stage.
