Studies were made on the drought resistance of "Nori-Asa" (glutinous-hemp), an amphidiploid crop raised between Abel. esculentus and Abel. Manihot, in comparison with those of its parents. The number of Stomata per 1 mm² was the most in Manihot, and that in "Nori-Asa" was similar to that in Manihot. The concentration of cell sap and the resistance to KClO₃ were the highest and the strongest respectively in Manihot, medium in esculentns, and the least in "Nori-Asa." The water content was the lowest in Manihot, medium in "Nori-Asa" and the higest in esculentus. The wilting speed was the slowest in Manihot, and that in "Nori-Asa" was similar to, that in esculentus. The amount of transpiration was the largest in Manihot, medium in esculentus, and the the smallest in "Nori-Asa" Thus, the cause of the facts that the drought resistance of the "Nori-Asa" was weeker than that of the parents in the practical cultivation was clarified from various physiological experiments. The degree of the drought resistance of "Nori-Asa" resembled that of one parent which had the larger number of chromosomes than that of the other parent.
