Abstract:
【Objective】 Study the drought resistance of 10 quinoa varieties in germination stage. 【Method】In this experiment, PEG-6000 solution with different concentrations of 5%-30% were used to simulate drought stress conditions.【Result】 The results showed that the low concentrations of PEG-6000 promoted seed germination and root length of quinoa and inhibited stem length. 【Conclusion】 According to the analysis of membership function, drought resistance of 10 quinoa varieties at germination stage was: YL2>YL1>YL7>YL3>YL9>YL5>YL10>YL6>YL8>YL4. The quinoa varieties were divided into three drought resistance levels: YL1 , YL2 and YL7 were drought-tolerant varieties,YL3 and YL9 were medium drought-tolerant varieties,YL4, YL5, YL6, YL8 and YL10 were weak drought-tolerant varieties.
