Volumetric soil moisture (θv) in the 2012 early field drought stress treatment (30 cm in depth), normalized for the initial reading in each plot (a), and gravimetric soil moisture (b) in the drought stress treatment of greenhouse lysimeters for selected aus genotypes belonging to different leaf rolling groups (low = blue, high = red) selected based on previous leaf rolling scores and ΔNDVI values. In the field study, genotypes with a greater degree of leaf rolling under drought were ARC 14088, Dangar, and Moshur, and those showing a lesser degree of leaf rolling were Biranj and Lakhsnikajal. In the greenhouse lysimeter study, genotypes with a greater degree of leaf rolling under drought in the greenhouse included Chengri 2, Dhala Bhadoi, Dangar, Goai, and Tak Siah. Genotypes with a lesser degree of leaf rolling in the greenhouse lysimeter study included Brown Gora, IC27525, Lakhsnikajal, Sufaid 246, and Solay Ghat
