A Review of Types and Classes of Wheat
Keywords:
Wheat, leaves, leaf sizeAbstract
As atmospheric temperature and soil salinity rise, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) no longer yields enough grain to be used as a primary food source for humans. Wheat is most vulnerable to high temperatures and salinity during the early growing stages and at flowering and booting. Research has shown that individually stress factors including salinity and high temperature influence wheat, but the combined stress factors of salinity and high temperature during critical growth stages continue to be examined.
