Hydroponic experiment assessed drought tolerance in barley genotypes, indicating potential for improved crop resilience.

Barley genotypes showed varying drought tolerance, with specific genotypes demonstrating better growth under stress conditions.
The analysis revealed significant effects of drought stress levels and genotype interactions on seedling growth traits, with p-values less than 0.001.
The hydroponic experiment utilized polyethylene glycol to simulate drought conditions on 24 barley genotypes in a randomized factorial design.
Identified drought-tolerant genotypes may support cultivation in arid regions, highlighting the need for further field studies and breeding programs.

Hailemariam et al. (2025) studied this question.
