Abstract
Wheat, the most important cereal crop in the poaceae family, contributes around 30% of global grain production. It is a significant contributor to our country’s food security. Abiotic stress poses challenges to plant growth and development in terms of ecological impacts. During reproductive growth, abiotic stress induces redox imbalance. Plants create reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a by-product of cellular metabolism. Numerous environmental factors increase ROS production, which causes oxidative damage and eventual cell death. In developing anthers, excessive ROS production induces sterility by causing pollen abortion and programmed cell death (PCD) of microspores. Physiological, biochemical, and morphological development also hampers with the production of ROS in wheat as a result of excessive environmental stress.
