In attention to time consuming and effect of uncontrolled agents like soil elements and hemisphere, study of tolerance in soybean to water stress during germination was investigated. Four soybean cultivars ＇Williams, Linford, L 17 and M7＇ were screened for drought tolerance by treatment of PEG6000 concentration for induce osmotic potentials （0, -3, -6, -9 bar）. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted. Germination percentage, radicle and hypocotyls length, fresh and dry weight of radicle, hypocotyl and seedling, TWC%, MDG, rate of daily germination and percentage of abnormal seedling were measured. Variance analysis of data indicated that difference between osmotic potential had significant effect on all parameters except germination percentage. A significant reduction in fresh weight of radicle and seedling, percentage of abnormal seedlings was observed for the genotypes as the concentration of PEG increased. In interaction between cultivars and water stress level, Linford and M7 with less damage had the highest yield in fresh and dry weight of radicle, respectively. Drought is one of the most important abiotic limited potential in germination and primary growth on these cultivars.展开更多
