Genotypic variation in physiological and physicochemical parameters associated with drought resistance was observed between cultivars in Brassica napus and B. campestris. Significant variation in proline accumulation, chlorophyll stability, germination rate and percentage, relative turgidity, growth rates and water use efficiency were found in plants grown under simulated drought conditions in a glasshouse. No variation was detected between cultivars for leaf diffusive resistance or heat tolerance. A yield index for each cultivar was derived from yield performances in nine different field environments. Chlorophyll stability and proline accumulation in leaf tissue and germination percentage in solution equivalent to –17.5 bars osmotic potential was clearly related to this yield index in B. napus and to a lesser extent in B. campestris. The winter cultivars of B. napus also possessed drought resistance characteristics, and they may be a valuable resource for the development of cultivars for droughted environments. Parameters were measured in a glasshouse, prior to anthesis, and therefore offer potential as ancillary selection criteria for drought resistance in oilseed rape growing in Western Australia.

Rhododendrons in numerous gardens in Central Europe are frequently endangered by adverse summer drought periods associated with the climate change. Therefore, in this work drought-resistance strategies in recent genotypes of these highly aesthetic shrubs were investigated. Dehydrated Rhododendron groenlandicum ‘Helma’, R. obtusum ‘Michiko’ and R. hybridum ‘Polarnacht’ showed high initial stomatal conductances (gS), after few days steeply falling to the stable minimum at ca. 20, 85 and 70% leaf relative water content (RWC), respectively. Except of ‘Polarnacht’, they had relatively large specific leaf area and ‘Michiko’ also free proline accumulation. On the other hand, R. repens ‘Scarlet Wonder’ and R. hybridum ‘Red Jack’ started with half gS values, continuously declining 1.5–2 fold longer compared to the first group of genotypes (RWC of ca. 60 and 75%, respectively). Both produced relatively thick leaves but did not show any osmotic adjustment. Among observed drought-resistance strategies, lower and longer period active transpiration with stomata sensitive to the water loss, as found in R. repens ‘Scarlet Wonder’ and R. × hybridum ‘Red Jack’, were accepted as the most effective for drought-affected rhododendron plantations.

The influence of 24-epibrassinolide on the efficiency of regenerants obtained from embryonic calli formation was studied in wheat cultivars contrast for drought resistance. The possibility of using the experimental model system «immature embryo – embryonic callus – regenerant» in the rapid assessment of the effect of antistress plant growth regulators is shown.
