SCREENING OF ELITE WHEAT GERMPLASM AGAINST NORMAL AND HEAT STRESS CONDITIONS USING AGRO-MORPHOLGICAL APPROACHES

Alarming climate change is a worldwide documented phenomenon and increase in abiotic (temperature stress, drought, salinity) and biotic stresses (diseases, pests) have been reported worldwide in agricultural crops. Terminal heat stress is one of the yield limiting factors for wheat crop in South Asia, including Pakistan. To address this core issue, a field study was carried out at Experimental Farm of Nuclear Institute of Agriculture, Tandojam...
