Investigating Physiological and Morphological Mechanisms of Drought Tolerance in Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) Lines with 1RS Translocation

Rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosome translocation is reported to enhance yield attributes in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We used 1RS translocations within the spring wheat cultivar “Pavon76” to measure and identify the translocation that is suitable to withstand moisture stress conditions without significant loss in yield potential. Four lines were grown under two water regimes in greenhouse environment in 2011 and 2012. The rye...
