Drought is a serious factor limiting rice production, and it leads to huge economic losses. Considering the current and projected global food demand, increasing productivity of drought-prone crops has become critical. In order to achieve the production target, rice drought-tolerant germplasm resources are an important prerequisite for the development of water-saving cultivation. Through multi-indicator measurement, the stress effect of drought on rice was clarified and a preliminary drought resistance identification index system was established based on the response of plant the germination, seedling and adult stages of rice and materials suitable for dry cultivation were screened. The results showed that relative root length, relative root weight and relative shoot weight were most affected by drought stress at the germination stage, while root length and root dry weight were positively correlated with the drought survival proportion at the seedling stage; high net photosynthetic rates and antioxidant enzyme activities are maintained in the late period in strongly drought-tolerant varieties. In this experiment, two drought-resistant varieties were screened, there was a high consistency in the screening of drought-tolerant varieties at the germination and seedling stages, with their joint screening showing the same performance as at the adult stage. The drought-resistant varieties at the adult stage can promote seed filling and ensure group yield by prolonging photosynthesis time and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity, which can provide theoretical support and material basis for future variety screening and evaluation, as well as rice dry-crop cultivation.
