New research shows wheat varieties with the highest yield under optimal conditions also perform best under drought and heat stress. Scientists propose selecting high-yield candidates early, then testing them in target regions, creating a more efficient, cost-effective breeding strategy. Key traits include deep roots, efficient photosynthesis, and canopy structure, offering a roadmap for resilient, productive wheat amid climate change.
