Effect of Rht alleles on the tolerance of wheat to high temperature and drought stress during booting and anthesis

Effect of Rht alleles on the tolerance of wheat to high temperature and drought stress during booting and anthesis

Human induced climate change is predicted to increase mean surface air temperature by 2 to 4 degrees C with significant drying in some regions by the end of this century which will affect wheat production and billions of people who depend on the crop for their livelihood. Factorial pot experiments w...
