Quantitative trait loci associated with drought stress tolerance in wheat primed with zinc oxide nanoparticles at seed germination and seedling stages.

Abstract excerpt

Wheat is a major global staple crop, yet its productivity and nutritional quality are increasingly threatened by drought, raising serious food security concerns. Nanotechnology, particularly zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle-based nano-priming, offers a promising strategy to improve germination, growth, and stress tolerance. Sixty-seven genotypes (65 double haloid (DH) lines + two parental lines) were phenotypically...
