Abstract excerpt
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a staple cereal crop highly vulnerable to drought stress, particularly during early seedling establishment, which limits productivity and yield stability. This study evaluated a recombinant inbred line population under well-watered and drought environments to dissect the morphological, physiological, and genetic bases of seedling drought tolerance. Drought stress severely reduced...
