Genetic variability, heritability, and multivariate analysis of drought tolerance-related traits in field pea (Pisum sativum L.) under varying drought stresses
Field peas (Pisum sativum L.) withstand short-term drought stress; however, prolonged water deficiency causes a significant reduction in grain yield, reported up to 25%. Drought tolerance is a complex mechanism involving the morphological, physiological, molecular, and cellular mechanisms. This study aimed to quantify...
