Evaluation of drought tolerance indices genotypes in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using yield based screening techniques
Altaf Hussain
Abstract
In order to study the effect of drought tolerance indices on morpho-physiologicaltraits of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) an experiment was conducted on 10 bread wheat genotypes during cropping season 2017-2018 cropping season at Experimental Field, Department of Plant Breeding & Genetics, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. The experiment was layout in split plot design with three replication and two treatment. The best option to breed wheat varieties for improved crop production in water scarce conditions would be to develop water stress tolerant cultivars. for this purpose, morpho-physiological parameters with drought tolerant indices wheat genotypes were assessed for screening drought tolerance by imposing water stress at anthesis stage.
