- Intervention effect Zn application increased SPAD and Fv/Fm of wheat flag leaves.
- Intervention effect Zn application decreased lipid peroxidation levels and H2O2 content in wheat flag leaves.
- Intervention effect Zn application increased ascorbate and reduced glutathione content of wheat flag leaves.
- Intervention effect Zn application enhanced expression of antioxidant enzyme genes in wheat flag leaves under drought stress.
- Intervention effect Zn application enhanced expression of ascorbate–glutathione cycle genes in wheat flag leaves under drought stress.
- Intervention effect Zn application enhanced expression of flavonoid biosynthesis pathway genes in wheat flag leaves under drought stress.
- Intervention effect Soil Zn application increased wheat grain yield by 10.5% under adequate water supply.
- Intervention effect Soil Zn application increased wheat grain Zn concentration by 15.8% under adequate water supply.
- Intervention effect Soil Zn application increased wheat grain yield by 22.6% under moderate drought.
- Intervention effect Soil Zn application increased wheat grain Zn concentration by 9.7% under moderate drought.
- Intervention effect Soil Zn application increased wheat grain yield by 28.2% under severe drought.
- Intervention effect Soil Zn application increased wheat grain Zn concentration by 32.8% under severe drought.
- Intervention effect Foliar Zn application in the field increased wheat grain yield and grain Zn concentration under adequate water supply and rain-fed conditions.
- Mechanism Zn alleviates wheat drought stress by increasing photosynthesis pigment and active oxygen scavenging substances and reducing lipid peroxidation.
- Mechanism Zn fertilizer could regulate multiple antioxidant defense systems at the transcriptional level in response to drought.
