ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted with six wheat genotypes K-8962, PBW-373, RAJ-3765, K-9006, LOK-54, HD-2733 at Student Instructional farm of NDUAT Kumarganj, Faizabad -224229. Wheat genotypes were exposed for heat by delayed sowing of 60 days from normal date of sowing so that grain filling stage of wheat could experience sever heat stress. Wheat genotype K-8962, RAJ-3765 and LOK-54 had high stability in yield components traits by sowing less reduction in plant height, tiller number, spike length, grains per spike, test weight and grain yield over other genotypes. These genotypes can be used as donor for transferring heat tolerance traits in high yielding heat susceptible genotypes by physio-molecular breeding approaches for development high yielding heat tolerance wheat genotypes.
