Morphological and physiological responses of different wheat genotypes to chilling stress: a cue to explain yield loss

BACKGROUND The eco‐physiological mechanism of wheat yield loss resulting from chilling stress is a fundamental scientific issue. However, previous studies have focused on hexaploid wheats, and few studies on the morphological and physiological plasticity of wheat plants. Six different wheat genotypes were tested under chilling stress to investigate the physio‐morphological parameters as well as the loss of grain yield in growth chambers. RESULTS...
