Abstract– One of the most significant staple foods for almost two billion people is wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Around the world, wheat is being grown in accordance with different local climates. Drought circumstances include lower or irregular rainfall, uneven rainfall distribution, or increased water demands. Because of the various morphological, physiological, and biochemical alterations at the cellular and molecular levels, wheat’s drought response is an extremely complicated process. In this study, the effects of drought stress on two wheat genotypes DBW 187 and HD 2967 at the seedling stage were assessed. Root length, shoot length, RWC, and electrolyte leakage were among the variables where variations were noticeable. In the current study, drought stress results in increased electrolyte leakage across wheat genotypes and decreased root length, shoot length, and RWC. According to the study, wheat genotypes are negatively impacted by drought stress at the seedling stage.
