Abstract excerpt
Climate change-driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat-drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non-stress glasshouse conditions and a late-sowing field trial. HD stresses caused significant reductions in chlorophyll content,...
