Leaf water potential, stomatal resistance and specific leaf weight measured during stress and pre-stress periods indicated that MYD x WCT possessed better ability to conserve moisture. Morphological parameters also gave similar results. Based on the data, the three hybrids could be ranked for drought tolerance in the order, MYD x WCT > MOD x WCT > COD x WCTenCocos nuciferacoconut hybridsdrought toleranceComparative physiological studies on the drought tolerance of three hybrids of coconutArticle
