This study aimed to explore how ten selected winter barley genotypes responded to variations in environmental conditions during the growth season by using fast chlorophyll a fluorescence and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) at the booting, anthesis and early grain-filling stage. Lower amount of rainfall during the anthesis induced instability in the function of PSII, observed as the positive K-band in six and the positive L-band in seven genotypes. At grain filling, all genotypes displayed negative K- and L-bands, suggesting an increase of stability within PSII. The performance index increased from booting to grain filling in most genotypes. Chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters were incorporated into the partial least squares model as explanatory variables of NDVI. After a cross-validation, the model with four latent variables was chosen explaining 75.8% variance (r = 0.870) for NDVI. The principal component analyses showed two distinct types of the reaction of the barley genotypes to the mild drought stress at anthesis.
