Variance analyses revealed significant differences between the genotypes (P<0.01). As the average of two years, the greatest yield was obtained from no water-stress x genotype interaction (I(100)xP64LE119) with 4094.66 kg ha(-1), the lowest yield was obtained from strong water stress x genotype interaction (I(35)xPR63F73) with 2487.81 kg ha(-1). Again as the average of two years, the greatest chlorophyll content was obtained from no water-stress x genotype interaction (I(100)xP64LE119) with 49.83 spad, the lowest value was obtained from strong water stress x genotype interaction (I(35)xPR63173) with 34.39 spad. The greatest crop water stress index was obtained from strong water stress x genotype interaction (I(35)xPR63E73) with 0.53, the lowest value was obtained from no water-stress x genotype interaction (I(100)xP64LE119) with 0.21. The P64LE119 genotype with optimum water use efficiency and prominent with crop water stress index and chlorophyll content both in no water-stress and strong water stress treatments was identified as water stress-resistant and the genotype was considered to have reliable characteristics potentially to be used in further water stress-resistance studies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWater stressCrop water stress indexToleranceChlorophyllSunflowerArticle243312322N/AWOS:000443391000003286291Q32-s2.0-8505326835710.15832/ankutbd.456645
