Here, we present the data from a comparative physiology and proteomics approach used to analyze the response of two wheat genotypes (SERI M 82 (SE) and SW89.5193/kAu2 (SW)) with contrasting responses to drought stress. Proteomic analysis resulted in identification of 49 unique proteins with significant change in abundance (2-fold) under water shortage in roots and leaves. Gene ontology analysis of drought-responsive proteins (DRPs) suggested an induction of proteins related to cell wall biogenesis, ATP synthesis, photosynthesis, and carbohydrate/energy metabolism in leaves under stress condition. A large fraction of root proteins were identified to be involved in defense and oxidative stress response. In addition, a significant change was detected in proteins related to protein synthesis, ATP synthesis, and germin-like proteins in response to drought stress. A detailed analysis of this data may be obtained from Ref. [1].

Water stressed have vital effect on the various anatomical, physiological and bio-chemical processes, which are controlled by genetic and prevailing environment. In present study, 25 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, which have been released over 40 years in Iran, were evaluated in terms of stem physiological and anatomical changes at Iran Agricultural Research Station. During growing season data were collected and finally crop was harvested in June and various anatomical aspects like Thickness of stem (TS), Thickness of fiber (TF), Tangential dimension of collenchymas cells (TDC), Tangential dimension of vascular bundle (TDVB), Radial dimension of vascular bundle (RDVB), Radial dimension of big xylem vessel (RDBXV), Tangential dimension of phloem bundle (TDPB), Distance between vascular bundle to Epidermis (DBVBE), Thickness of epidermal cell (TE) that are integral part of drought resistance were studied. Predominantly drought resistant genotypes were recorded with anatomical aspects which play major role in imparting drought resistance. Among the studied 25 genotypes, genotype number 7, 21 and 25 showed maximum drought resistance characteristics collectively and these can be used as parent cultivars for future breeding programs.
