Methodology:
• Greenhouse: 28/15°C day/night, 48/89% min/max relative humidity
• Treatments: Well-watered (WW) Water deficit (WD)
• Design: Slit plot N=5

Methodology:
• Traits: Water use efficiency (WUE) Transpiration Relative water content (RWC) Osmotic potential (OP) Biomass (total and per organ) Leaf area index (LAI) Chlorophyll content (SPAD units) Tolerance decrease to water supply

• Biomass reduction 29% (range +5% to 44%)
• Yield reduction 39% (range +5% to 66%)
• TDWS of CIP398208.89 104.1%, CIP398203.244 31.5%

Results:
• WUE of total biomass was higher in WD than in WW
• Water was mainly used in tuber production rather than above ground biomass in tolerant genotypes

• Total biomass and total transpiration were strongly correlated (r=0.92, p<0.0001).

Results:
• WUE was also correlated with both yield and total biomass (r = 0.78, p<0.001; r= 0.55, p<0.05)
• A crop may support yield, but not biomass

• Three clear groups can be distinguished from this analysis (tolerant, medium, sensitive).
• CIP397077.16, UNICA, CIP398208.620, and Achirana-INTA were the four genotypes ranked as tolerant while CIP398203.244 was rated as sensitive.

• Selection for higher WUE and drought tolerant genotypes does not always compromise total biomass and yield under well-limited conditions.
• Five genotypes with high TDWS and HI were identified out of the fifteen evaluated.
Conclusions:
14
• Wide range of potato germoplasm in field conditions (improved and native).
• Effect of drought stress at different developmental stages.
• Evaluation of root system architecture and its relation with drought tolerance.
Future directions:
