Abstract Drought susceptibility and low genetic variability are the major constraints of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production worldwide. Development of an efficient pre-field drought phenotyping technique and identification of
diversified drought tolerant lentil genotype(s) are therefore vital and necessary. Two separate experiments were
conducted using thirty diverse lentil genotypes to isolate drought tolerant genotype(s) as well as to assess their
diversity. In both of the experiments, significant (p ≤ 0.01) variation in genotype (G), treatment (T) and
G X T was observed for most of the studied traits. In experiment I, genotypes were examined for drought tolerance at… More >
