+Refers that the genotype was among the highest performance genotypes in the trait, while, # refers that the genotype was among the lowest performance genotypes in the trait.

DTI ^V , refers to the values of drought tolerance index (DTI) for each genotype.

The bold font indicates the most 10 drought-tolerant genotypes were selected and used to study the physiological changes and genetic analysis.
