New Wheat Genotypes Thrive in Changing Climate, Boosting Food Security.
Researchers studied how different planting dates affect the growth and yield of wheat in Egypt. They found that planting earlier led to better results, with certain wheat lines showing the highest grain yield. Some wheat genotypes were more resilient to climate changes, while others were more sensitive depending on when they were planted. Overall, early-maturing wheat varieties were less affected by heat stress and showed stable yields across different planting times.
