Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Drought tolerance of wheat leaves decreased with plant age.
- Method / resource Maximal separation of wheat cultivars in drought tolerance was obtained with 40% (w/v) PEG under favourable moisture, sampled at late jointing.
- Intervention effect Wheat sampled under water stress was more drought tolerant than well-watered plants.
- Mechanism Wheat membrane stability is adjusted under drought stress.
- Observation Wheat cultivars differed in their ability to adjust drought tolerance.
- Association Drought and heat tolerance were not correlated in wheat, unlike in sorghum.
- Association Wheat was more drought tolerant than maize, sorghum or millet, based on published data.
- Method / resource The drought and heat tolerance test methods work equally well with barley and triticale as with wheat.
