Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Limited water reduced wheat water use by 37%.
- Intervention effect Limited water reduced wheat water use efficiency by 32.6%.
- Intervention effect Limited water reduced wheat harvest index by 14%.
- Association Wheat phenology and root length density were key determinants of water use.
- Observation Late flowering underutilized wheat with large roots and rapid ground cover had greatest water use.
- Observation Modern wheat cultivars had higher leaf chlorophyll than underutilized wheats.
- Observation Modern wheat cultivars had higher stomatal conductance than underutilized wheats.
- Observation Modern cultivars had higher biomass growth and water use efficiency.
- Association Harvest index depended strongly on wheat phenology and yield components.
- Mechanism Modern cultivars had higher harvest index than underutilized wheats, attributed to flowering time, tillering, and grain sink.
- Method / resource Cluster analysis consistently distinguished modern and underutilized wheat by yield-water traits.
- Recommendation The authors identified physiological and root traits in modern cultivars as crop improvement targets under limited water.
- Association Underutilized wheat water use capacity was linked to yield-limiting phenological and morphological traits.
- Observation Khorasan wheat had high harvest index under drought.
