The effect of drought stress on energy dissipation and antioxidant enzyme system in two sweet sorghum inbred lines (M-81E and Roma) was investigated. Results showed that the germination indicator increased more in M-81E than that in Roma under rehydration. Under drought stress, both the maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (F/F) and oxidoreductive activity (ΔI/I) of Roma decreased more than those in M-81E. Relative to Fv/Fm, the ΔI/I0 decreased markedly, which indicated that PSI was more sensitive to drought stress than PSII. Increases in the reduction state of Q (1–q), nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) and minimal fluorescence yield of the dark-adapted state (F) were greater in Roma than those in M-81E; meanwhile, the HO content was lower in M-81E than that in Roma. Our results suggested that the photoinhibition might be related to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The antioxidant enzyme system and energy dissipation of M-81E could respectively increase drought tolerance by eliminating ROS and excess energy more efficiently than that of Roma.
