The objective of this study was to investigate new improved groundnut varieties response to drought stress under controlled&#13;
conditions to identify tolerant materials and drought tolerance related traits.Thus, three experiments were conducted during offseasons:&#13;
two experiments in lysimetric system in 2017 and 2018 and one experiment in pots in 2017, to assess twelve varieties in a&#13;
randomized complete block design with 2 water regimes and 4 replications.The water regimes were a full irrigation (WW) and an&#13;
intermittent drought imposed at flowering times (WS). The investigated morphophysiological traits like transpiration, specific leaf&#13;
area, root dry matter, root length density, and yield components decreased underWS. Significant year effect and genotypic variation&#13;
were observed on most of investigated traits. Genotypes ICGV 92206 and ICGV 06319 showed low transpiration and revealed high&#13;
pod yielding and early maturing genotypes under both water regimes, while genotypes ICGV 92035, ICGV 92195, ICGV 02038,&#13;
ICGV 07211, and ICGV 07210 were drought-sensitive for pods production but produced high haulm under both water regimes.&#13;
ICGV 92206, ICGV 02005, ICGV 02125, and ICGV 06319 showed higher yielding than 55-437 and Fleur 11. In this study, low total&#13;
transpiration to control water loss, chlorophyll content, and root length density revealed drought tolerance associated traits for pod&#13;
production, while TTW, TE, RDW, and RV revealed drought tolerance associated traits for fodder production.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Crop Improvement</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Drought Tolerance</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Groundnut</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">African Agriculture</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Niger</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2019-06</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Hindawi Publishing Corporation</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
