A study evaluated drought resistance in 32 maize types by testing them in different conditions and measuring 24 factors. After analyzing the data, researchers identified five key indicators for drought resistance, such as leaf water potential and grain weight. They used these indicators to create a system to assess drought tolerance in all maize varieties tested.
