Environmental stresses such as drought, cold and heat in Pannonia Basin
significantly endanger the cell activity, plant growth and yields in wheat,
which is one of the most strategic cereal grain crops in the world. As
science and technology advance, new tools are developed while old ones are
refined for use by breeders. Higher agronomical efficiency is possible by
combining new and old tools to bridge the abiotic stress issues. Five
cultivars of winter wheat (Simonida, Petrija, Ljubica, Zvezdana and NS
Mila), were used in the study carried out at our experimental field (Novi
Sad as a center of Pannonia Basin) across three consecutive growing seasons
to assess genetic interaction and the level of tolerance and adaptability of
different cultivars to abiotic stresses like drought conditions, cold and
heat. Four quantitative yield components and grain yield were analiyed to
assess expression of adapted genotypes in the region. Among the cultivars,
Simonida, which has been in use for the longest period, exhibited the most
consistent yield response. Additionally, it demonstrated some degree of
partial tolerance to abiotic stress conditions, possibly due to the
integration of stress memory into its genetic code, supported by statistical
analysis findings.
