- Intervention effect After three recurrent selection rounds, half-sib wheat progenies had reduced canopy temperature.
- Intervention effect After recurrent selection, half-sib wheat progenies had reduced chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect After recurrent selection, half-sib wheat progenies had reduced biomass.
- Intervention effect After recurrent selection, wheat half-sibs improved in yield.
- Intervention effect After recurrent selection, wheat half-sibs improved in harvest index.
- Intervention effect After recurrent selection, wheat half-sibs improved in NDVI.
- Observation Drought indices indicated enhanced drought tolerance in the wheat half-sib population.
- Intervention effect Compared with the base population, wheat half-sibs had better harvest index under water stress.
- Intervention effect Compared with the base population, wheat half-sibs had better grain filling under water stress.
- Intervention effect Compared with the base population, wheat half-sib grain yield rose significantly by 17.1% under water stress.
- Mechanism Cooler canopies might have contributed to wheat drought tolerance.
- Mechanism Increased early vigour might have contributed to wheat drought tolerance.
- Observation Wheat recombinant progenies had a favourable combination of gibberellin sensitive and insensitive Rhtalleles.
