Abstract

Root volume, determined by displacement of water in a 1 litre cylinder, was assessed in 44-day-old seedlings of 13 varieties. The Japanese upland variety Rikuto Norin 12 had the greatest root volume (31 ml) while IR20, a lowland variety, had the least (10 ml). Root volume was negatively associated with damage caused by drought in the reproductive phase (r = -0.85). Root volume was significantly and positively correlated with both root and shoot length (r = 0.87 and 0.68, respectively) and it was suggested that plant height could be a useful selection criterion for drought resistance.
