Explanation:
Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting the majority of the world's crop plants. ... Leaf relative water content (RWC) is an important indicator of water status in plants; it reflects the balance between water supply to the leaf tissue and transpiration rate (Lugojan and Ciulca 2011)

Answer:
The 3-week drought treatment decreased the leaf water content of the 18 cultivars in relation to control (Table 1). RWCs of 17 cultivars ranged from 64.4% to 86.7% in relation to the control, while cv. 'Ari' had an RWC of 92%, which was not statistically different to that of the control.
