Drought resistance index screening and evaluation of lettuce under water deficit conditions on the basis of morphological and physiological differences

IntroductionWater is one of the important factors affecting the yield of leafy vegetables. Lettuce, as a widely planted vegetable, requires frequent irrigation due to its shallow taproot and high leaf evaporation rate. Therefore, screening drought-resistant genotypes is of great significance for let...
