Deciphering drought-response in wheat (Triticum aestivum): physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic insights into tolerant and sensitive cultivars under dehydration shock
This study advances our knowledge of the complex molecular and biochemical responses of wheat with differing tolerance levels, highlighting both key candidate genes and antioxidant defence mechanisms as central to cultivar-specific adaptation strategies. The distinct metabolic strategies observed emphasize the importance of tailored molecular mechanisms in drought tolerance, which can guide future breeding programs aimed at improving wheat resilience under water-limited conditions.
