Direct effects and after-effects of soil drought for 7 and 14 d were examined on seedling dry matter, leaf water potential (psi), leaf injury index (LI), and chlorophyll (Ch1) content of drought (D) resistant and sensitive triticale and maize genotypes. D caused higher decrease in number of developed leaves and dry matter of shoots and roots in the sensitive genotypes than in the resistant ones. Soil D caused lower decrease of y in the triticale than maize leaves. Influence of D on the Ch1 b content was considerably lower than on the Chi a content. In, triticale the most harmful D impact was observed for physiologically younger leaves, in maize for the older ones. A period of 7-d-long recovery was too short for a complete removal of an adverse influence of D.
