DROUGHT STRESS IMPACTS ON WHEAT AND ITS RESISTANCE MECHANISMS

Scarcity of water has been a serious agricultural hindrance to crop productivity since antiquity. Drought-stressed loss in wheat yield likely exceeds losses from all other causes, since both the severity and duration of the stress are censorious. Here, we have reviewed the effects of drought stress...
