Freezing Tolerance of Winter Wheat Plants Frozen In Saturated Soil (original) (raw)

2009, Field Crops Research

AI-generated Abstract

Winter wheat, crucial for autumn sowing and summer harvesting, faces significant freezing injury during winter, leading to considerable yield losses. This study investigates the genetic variability in winter wheat lines' ability to tolerate freezing in saturated soil, identifying that acclimated seedlings in saturated conditions present different freezing stress responses compared to drier conditions. Key findings highlight the significant influence of minimum temperature on survival rates and suggest potential for developing cultivars with enhanced tolerance through genetic analysis.
