Relations between drought-resistance and chlorophyll content of 25 local upland rice cultivals (Oryza sativa L.)

Water retention ability of leave tissues of twenty five local upland rice cultivars (Oryza Sativa L.) was defined through the amount of water loss through different time frames. The results showed that the amount of water loss of leaf tissues of twenty five local upland rice cultivars through times: one hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, five hours and six hours had increased.
