The WHEAT MARKER FOR BETTER YIELD AND HEAT STRESS TOLERANCE: A REVIEW
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background
Wheat is a staple crop that plays a critical role in global food security, making its yield and resilience to environmental stressors essential for sustaining the growing human population. Improving wheat yield and heat stress tolerance is crucial in the face of climate change, which poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity and food supply.
Previous research has identified various genetic markers associated with wheat yield and stress tolerance, but their effectiveness under varying climatic conditions remains inconsistent.
Research Method
A combination of Literature survey at Google Scholar, Pubmed, Scispace etc to retrieve the data about wheat markers in improving yield and heat stress tolerance.
Literature Review
A comprehensive review of existing literature on wheat genetics and climate resilience was conducted to inform the research framework.
Data Collection
Data on wheat yield, heat stress tolerance, and related agronomic traits were collected through on line published article NCBI Google scholar,
