Abstract: In this study, the relationships between different irrigation regimes and drought resistance parameters were investigated in Prunus mahaleb L.  Three Prunus mahaleb L. rootstocks genotypes with high rooting capacity and SL 64 clonal rootstock were used. Four different irrigation regimes were applied (I₁= completing water deficient to field capacity, I₂= 70% of I₁ application, I₃= 40% of I₁ application, I₄= 10% of I₁ application) in drought tests. We found significant positive important relationships (correlation coefficient) between increased irrigation regimes and leaf area (0.606), plant length (0.585), plant diameter (0.584), chlorophyll a (0.485), chlorophyll b (0.613), total chlorophyll (0.532), pH (0.415), stomata diameter (0.558), stomata length (0.538), stomata number (0.856).  It is found negative significant relationships between increased irrigation regimes and abscisic acid content (-0.344) and it is calculated insignificant relationships total sugar (-0.064) and total starch (0.008).
