This study aims to understand the mechanisms of thermotolerance in wheat under heat stress.
Analyzed physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses to heat stress in four wheat genotypes.
Assessed membrane injury, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense mechanisms.
Performed qRT-PCR for gene expression and Western blotting for protein analysis.
All genotypes experienced increased membrane damage and MDA accumulation, but tolerant genotypes showed lower injury rates.
Thermotolerance correlated with stronger antioxidant activation and enhanced expression of DREB and HSP16.9.
Microscopy showed better organelle preservation in tolerant genotypes compared to sensitive ones.
