Guangxi is the leading sugarcane production area in China. over 85% of the sugarcane is planted on non-irrigated dry land, and varying degrees of drought damage occur every year. Drought is the main limiting factor for sugarcane production in China. Tillering is one of the important traits affecting the yield of sugarcane. It is of great significance to study the effect of drought stress on the development of tillering buds at tillering stage. Guire 2 is a new sugarcane variety bred by our team with good drought resistance and strong tillering ability. In order to investigate the effects of drought stress on physiological indicators of sugarcane tillering seedlings and leaves at tillering stage, Guire 2 was used to conduct drought stress experiments at the early stage of sugarcane tillering. The experiment was set up with control (19%-25% soil absolute water content) and drought stress treatment by stopping irrigation. Samples were taken from the control group and treatment group at early drought stress (14%-15% soil absolute water content), middle drought stress (10%-11% soil absolute water content), late drought stress (6%-7% soil absolute water content) stages. The changes of antioxidant enzyme activity, MDA, osmoregulatory substances and endogenous hormone contents were measured by subordination function method. The correlation of the physiological indicators in sugarcane tiller shoots and leaves was analyzed, and the drought resistance of tiller shoots and leaves was evaluated. The results showed that drought stress increased the activities of peroxidase (POD), and superoxidate dismutase (SOD), and contents of proline (Pro), soluble protein, starch, sucrose and abscisic acid (ABA), especially in tiller shoots, the treatment group and the control group reached a significant difference, while the malondialdehyde (MDA) content remained at a similar level in sugarcane tillering seedlings and leaves during drought stress. Compared with leaves, drought stress significantly increased the activity of SOD and the contents of Pro, soluble protein and sucrose in tiller shoots. Correlation analysis showed that most significant correlations between the physiological indicators in sugarcane tiller shoots and leaves under drought stress were positive, and sucrose content, starch content, Pro content, IAA content and SOD activity were more significantly or extremely significantly correlated with other indicators. According to the comprehensive drought resistance coefficient and the average of subordinate function values of each index, the drought resistance of tiller shoots was stronger than that of leaves in sugarcane.
