Comparison of drought resistance of Sedum plants

Comparative study was carried out on drought resistance of 14 varieties of Sedum under continuous drought stress in field conditions. The measurement included superficial morphology, leaf relative water content, MDA content, chlorophyll content, and soluble carbohydrate content. The results of the study revealed that drought resistance of Sedum were shown to decrease in the order of Sedum spectabile cv.Mossback, S.spectaile Boreau, S.telephium cv.Herbstfreude, S.spectabile cv.Iceberg and S.spectabile cv.RosentellerS.spectabile cv.Jameson, S.matrona, S.spectabile cv.Rosebloom, S.spectabile cv.Brilliant, S.hybridum and S.engleriS.reflexum,S.spurium cv.Coccineum and S.aizoon.
