Trabajo presentado en el PAG Asia 2019 (The International conference on the Status of Plant & Animal Genome Research), celebrado en Futian Shangri-La Shenzhen (China) del 6 al 8 de junio de 2019.Wheat can adapt to most agricultural conditions across temperate regions. Although drought is a major cause of yield and quality losses, the adaptive mechanisms and gene networks underlying drought responses in the field remain largely unknown. Interdisciplinary studies involving field water status phenotyping now provide a basis for interpreting gene expression analyses and show that changes at the transcriptional level were reflected in the remote sensing physiological data from the field. The dehydrin family of genes provided a focus for the study and indicated that the genes located on the group 6 chromosomes were particularly important in drought response
