Abstract
⺠We studied drought tolerance of hybrids between chrysanthemum and Ajania przewalskii. ⺠Hybrids showed higher drought tolerance than the chrysanthemum parent. ⺠Wilting was temporary in hybrids and A. przewalskii but permanent in chrysanthemum. ⺠A larger root system in the hybrids was a morphological response to drought. ⺠Increased proline and decreased MDA were synthesized in the hybrids under drought.
