Maize plant is a c4 plant having high input requirements including
irrigation water. In Pakistan 25-30% of the total cropped area is
rainfed where the available water resources are depleting very
quickly. Water stress or drought is one of the major limiting fator
in crop production around the globe. Water stress affects plant
growth both at early stage and at grain filling stage resulting in
decreased yield. Fifty inbred lines were used to study genetic
variability, correlation and path co-efficient analysis among
various seedling and maturity traits. Under drought conditions,
100-grain weight had positively and significantly correlated with
root length, shoot length, fresh root weight and number of cobs.
Days taken to silking had maximum positive direct effect on
100-garin weight. Number of ears had minimum positive direct effect
on 100-grain weight.
