Abstract
Two barley cultivars, Jau-87 and S-84728, were grown in pots. After 25 days, half the seedlings from both the
cultivars were subjected to 9 days water stress. Drought stress curtailed leaf area, stem length, fresh weight, dry
weight, water contents (WC) and relative growth rate (RGR) of both the cultivars. Effects were more prominent in
Jau-87.
