Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Drought stress decreased physiological adaptations and earliness in bread wheat.
- Intervention effect Drought stress increased amylose significantly in bread wheat.
- Intervention effect Canopy temperature depression was not significantly affected by drought stress in bread wheat.
- Association Grain yield correlated strongly and positively with plant height, normalized difference in vegetation index and plant maturity in bread wheat.
- Association Grain yield correlated strongly and positively with spike length, grain number and thousand grain weight in bread wheat.
- Association Grain yield correlated negatively with canopy temperature depression in bread wheat.
- Association Amylose and amylopectin showed a non-significant correlation with grain yield in bread wheat.
- Recommendation Genetic diversity derived from landraces and synthetic bread wheat can improve grain yield and starch contents, but simultaneous improvement of both is elusive.
