To explore the response of wheat to drought stress at the germination stage, in this study, 20% of PEG-6000 solution was utilized to simulate drought stress and the drought resistance of 60 wheat germplasm resources was identified. The indicators including germination percentage, germination vigor, germination index, and drought resistance coefficient were measured. The results indicated that drought stress significantly decreased the germination vigor and germination percentage of different germplasm resources(with average reductions of 42.59% and 35.84%, respectively), and also suppressed root length and bud length, with significant differences observed among different varieties. Principal component analysis and comprehensive evaluation value method were employed to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the drought resistance of different germplasm resources, identifying three independent principal components as the comprehensive indicators for drought resistance evaluation, which accounted for a cumulative contribution rate of 78.026%. Based on the comprehensive evaluation values, the 60 materials were categorized into four drought tolerance levels, with 23 materials identified as highly drought-tolerant varieties. In conclusion, the drought resistance of different wheat germplasm resources at the germination stage was systematically evaluated in this study, and new wheat lines with strong drought resistance were selected.
