Description
Ramin Lotfi and five colleagues screened wheat types for light based signs that predict strength under future climates. Climate change threatens dryland wheat, a staple for food security. Ten genotypes faced combined stresses: higher heat, doubled carbon dioxide, and limited water. The team measured the faint light leaves give off after taking light in. That glow, called chlorophyll fluorescence, opens a window on how leaves turn light into food. The types met the combined stress in different ways.
One old type, Sardari, and one new dryland line, Ivan, proved strong. Their scores for leaf light use in fact rose under combined stress. They also kept leaf pores and electron flow in better check than rivals. Stats tied set glow measures to how well each type did. Those measures could serve as fast signs, letting breeders screen hundreds of lines for climate readiness, no harvest wait needed.
