Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Drought tolerance is associated with photosynthesis, stay green, chlorophyll concentration, and fluorescence traits.
- Observation Wheat yield under drought is mostly half or less than under irrigation.
- Observation Drought at 60% relative soil moisture reduced wheat grain yield.
- Observation Kernel weight fell more than grain number under drought.
- Observation Drought decreased grain yield per spike by 16.2% in the tolerant cultivar.
- Observation Drought decreased grain yield per spike by 27.9% in the sensitive cultivar.
- Observation The drought tolerant cultivar did not show high tolerance under combined heat and drought.
- Observation High temperature significantly reduced wheat grain weight and grain number.
- Observation Temperature rise after anthesis reduced individual wheat grain weight.
- Recommendation The authors recommend accounting for grain development mechanisms and physiological traits when improving wheat yield under terminal stress.
