Note. ns, not significant at  < 0.05. Significant at  < 0.05, significant at  < 0.01, and significant at  < 0.001. PH, SPL, NSPS, RWC, RCC, PRO, and TSS are the plant height, spike length, number of spikelet per spike, relative water content, proline content, and total soluble sugar contents, respectively.
