Wheat is a globally cereal crop with lot of utilities and nutritional values. The production wheat seriously reduced by water stress. In Nigeria, produced mostly using irrigation system in the Northern parts country, as such there need to investigate optimum regime also study response stress goal determining main components for yield contributing traits. was carried out Bauchi, Nigeria's savann...

As the first organ in plants to sense water-deficit in the soil, roots have important roles for improving crop adaption to water limited environments. Stem water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) are a major carbon source for grain filling under drought conditions. The contributions of root WSC during grain filling under drought has not been revealed. Wheat parental lines of Westonia, Kauz and their ...

heat stress is a major environmental stress limiting wheat productivity in most cereal growing areas of the world. in order to map and characterize quantitative trait loci controlling heat tolerance, 144 recombinant inbred lines deriving from the cross of kauz and mtrwa116 were assessed in a greenhouse and growth chamber at 35°c. one hundred and sixty six ssr and 3 aflp markers were used to...

The objectives of this study were to compare nonparametric stability measures, and to identify promising high-yield and stable bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes in 7 environments during 2003-2005 in the central Black Sea region of Turkey. The bread wheat genotypes (20 advanced lines and 5 cultivars) were grown in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications in 7 different e...

In wheat, stem water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), composed mainly of fructans, are the major carbon sources for grain filling during periods of decreasing photosynthesis or under drought stress after anthesis. Here, in a field drought experiment, WSC levels and associated enzyme activities were followed in different stem segments (peduncle, penultimate internode, lower parts of stem, and sheath...
