Differences between cultivars in leaf dehydration tolerance were responsible for the changes in plant growth and productivity under drought conditions. Determination of leaf dehydration tolerance may allow the prediction of the plant response to the water stress in terms of plant growth and grain yield. Differentiated drought responses of both cultivars are described.
