Abstract: This paper summarizes a large amount of research on the methods of morphologic,biologic, anatomic and physiologic identification of drought resistance of turfgrass. The main points introduced here are the morphology and physiology-biochemistry mechanisms of drought resistance and the improvement of the germplasm resource of turfgrass; Finally we discussed problems and prospects in drought resistance study carried out in turfgrass sciences.
