Scientists identified 149 genes related to phytosulfokine receptors (PSKR) in wheat that help plants respond to environmental stresses like drought, salt, cold, and heat. These genes are spread across wheat’s chromosomes and contain regulatory elements that control their expression in response to various stresses and plant hormones. The study provides important genetic resources for developing wheat varieties that are more resistant to environmental stress, which is crucial for maintaining crop productivity in changing climate conditions.
