Abstract
To enhance the breeding efficiency in stress prone environments globally several molecular mapping populations have been produced. The focus of current study was to evaluate the mapping population derived from the cross of drought susceptible OPATA and drought tolerant synthetic hexaploid wheat. After field screening the selected genotypes were evaluated under in vitro conditions for physiological parameters like proline accumulation, chlorophyll content and SOD activity. Although, physiological evaluation has marked all these genotypes as drought tolerant but the performance of lines lines L-14, L-17, L-23, L-55, L-87, L-80, L-78, L-108, L-118, L-122, L-150 and L-152 was notable owe to their better physiological defense mechanism to drought. The present study concluded that unique genetic diversity from Aegilops tauschii (D genome donor) can be harnessed to get more yield by improving the existing cultivars against abiotic stress.
