Description	Six varieties of black pepper were selected as apparently drought tolerant based on their relative water content, membrane stability and number of days taken for wilting from the drought tolerance screening using forty four black pepper varieties. Chlorophyll and leaf epicuticular wax content of black pepper varieties at mild, moderate, severe and zero water stress was studied. Under moderate water stress. chlorophyll a content decreased in all the varieties except Poonjarmunda and Uthirankotta-2. Severe stress decreased chlorophyll a, b, and total content in all the varieties. Total chlorophyll content was not affected, however chi alb content varied with water stress. Maximum wax content was observed under severe water stress, which was relatively high in varieties Kalluvally-4, Padarpan, Kumbakodi, Poonjarmunda, Panniyur-5 and Uthirankotta.
