What is it about?
Assessment of the effects of genotype, water stress on maize agronomic, physiologic and yield traits and identifying drought tolerant genotypes for use in future breeding programs.

Why is it important?
The presence of genotypic differences in performances under soil water deficit would help plant breeders in initiating successful breeding programs to improve drought tolerance.
Perspectives
The highest yielding genotypes were the single crosses Eg-77, P-3444, SC-128 and HT-2066 under water stress at flowering and P-3444, SC-128, TWC-324 and SC-166 under water stress at grain filling, in a descending order. These genotypes could be offered to maize breeding programs for developing drought tolerant inbred and hybrids.
