drought stress at different phenophases of wheat. Wheat seeds were soaked either in
distilled water or in aerated solution of CaCl 2 (ψs− 1.25 MPa) for 18 h to accomplish
hydropriming and osmopriming, respectively. The soil moisture was maintained at 90–100%
field capacity (well-watered) or 45–50% field capacity at vegetative (vegetative drought) and
reproductive (terminal drought) phases. Allometric traits leaf area index, leaf area duration …
