Abstract:Three varieties of E.sibiricus L.were exposed to different concentrations of PEG (0%,5%,10%,15%) to simulate drought stress.Physiological responses of Elymus sibiricus L.seedlings to drought stress were studied at seedling stage.Drought resistance of three varieties of E.sibiricus L.was analyzed by membership function.The results showed that along with the severity of drought stress,relative water content of leaves decreased;while a number of parameters including SOD,POD,CAT and other antioxidants,the content of soluble sugar,soluble protein,proline and malondialdehyde,all increased significantly (P<0.05).According to the analysis of membership function,the order of drought resistance is as follows,new line (E02) > Hulunbeier (E03) > Chuancao 2 (E01).
