Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The stable 3St(3D) substitution line offers promising genetic potential for improving drought tolerance in wheat during critical reproductive stages. The flowering stage is highly susceptible to drought, which significantly reduces wheat grain yield globally. Low genetic diversity in wheat further limits the discovery of optimal gene variants for breeding climate-resilient varieties. The substitution...
