Abstract Drought is the most common form of abiotic stress that reduces plant growth and productivity. It causes plant
injuries through elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Potassium (K) is a vital plant nutrient that
notably ameliorates the detrimental effect of drought stress in the plant. A pot experiment was conducted at the
Laboratory of Plant Stress Responses, Faculty of Agriculture, Kagawa University, Japan, under controlled environment of green house to explore the role of K in mitigating drought severity in wheat (Triticum asevitum L.)
seedlings. Three days after germination, seedlings were exposed to three water regimes viz., 100, 50,… More >
