Abstract: The parameters of maize roots system were studied systemically in a pot experiment by the method of washing roots.The experimental results showed that the differences among the morphological,anatomical and physiological activity resulted in the differences in drought resistance in maize.The relationship betw een roots system and drought resistance was closely related,which should be used in drought resistance identification.

Key words: Maize, Roots, Drought resistance
