The effect of water reduction stress on photosynthetic efficiency and the agronomic traits of 10 bread winter wheat cultivars were investigated, with an aim to develop breeding methods for improving wheat drought tolerance. In the 2008 and 2009 crop seasons, the trial was grown in vegetative pots according to the method of a 2-factorial experiment (cultivar and treatment) as a randomized complete block with 3 replications. The stressed version of the treatment was exposed to mild water reduction short-term stress 3 times (at the end of tillering stage, at the flag leaf to beginning of heading stage, and at the …
