Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced grain yield in wheat.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced wheat leaf relative water content.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced wheat chlorophyll and carotenoid contents.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased leaf hydrogen peroxide, free proline and malondialdehyde contents.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased soluble protein and sodium contents.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase activities.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc alleviated the grain yield loss caused by water stress.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc increased grain zinc and potassium contents and the K+/Na+ ratio.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc increased relative water content, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc increased peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase activities.
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc significantly reduced malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide and sodium contents.
- Observation Antioxidant enzyme activities were higher in 6x and 4x wheat than in 2x.
- Observation T. dicoccum showed better water stress tolerance than 2x and 6x landraces.
- Observation T. ispahanicum showed better water stress tolerance than 2x and 6x landraces.
- Recommendation The authors propose these 4x wild and landrace wheat species as genetic sources for improving drought tolerance.
