- Abstract
A pot experiments were conducted to study the effects of water stress on plant Blade retention, leaf relative moisture content (LRWC), Morphology and growth status, five drought-resistant plants (Pyracantha angustifolia, Pyracantha fortuneana, Pyracantha fortuneana ‘Harlequin’, Ligustrum japonicum ‘Howardii’, Photinia glabra×Photinia serrulata ) were used as materials. The results showed that the drought resistant ability of five species of shrubs from strong to weak as follows: Ligustrum japonicum 'Howardii'，Pyracantha fortuneana，Pyracantha angustifolia，Photinia glabra×Photinia serrulata，Pyracantha fortuneana 'Harlequin'. It was found with several Comprehensive indicators that the drought tolerance of Ligustrum japonicum 'Howardii' was significantly higher than that of the other four species, and its adaptability to water deficit was stronger, Therefore, according to the drought resistance ability of tree species, it is suggested that planting Ligustrum japonicum 'Howardii' and Pyracantha fortuneana, in areas with severe water shortage can effectively maintain soil and water and improve the ecological environment.
