Nutrient uptake under combined drought and salinity stress in hexaploid wheat species.

ABSTRACT: Wheat is an important crop that often suffers from combined drought and salinity stress in agricultural fields, which adversely affects its growth, yield, and nutrient uptake. Understanding the response of genotypes to this combined stress is crucial to developing resilient cultivars. Nutrient uptake patterns in plants under stress not only reveal the physiological effects but also reflect their adaptive strategy and tolerance potential. Neglected and underutilized wheat species with high genetic diversity offer a valuable resource to explore different traits under combined stresses. Notably, no study has thoroughly assessed nutrient uptake in different hexaploid wheat species under combined drought and salinity stress. Thus, this study provides new insights into the individual and combine
