According to Maximov (1929) "drought resistance means the capacity of plants to endure drought and to recover readily after permanent wilting, with the minimum of damage to the plant itself and to the yield produced." He suggests that the most important step must be to select from plants capable of growing in drier regions, those which can readily endure and do not merely escape or evade severe drought. In his opinion it should be possible. when we have decided which plants are truly drought resistant, to attack with success the problem of determining the peculiarities of organisation that actually confer on plants the faculty of enduring drought.
