Abstract:
      Examining and referring to more than eighty papers published in recent twenty years, the paper summarizes the advances in drought-resistance and water-saving physiology, genetics and breeding of wheat in terms of cultivar alternations, water-resistance and water-saving genetic and physiological mechanisms, and the latest research achievements, especially water-resistance and water-saving physiological and biochemical mechanisms, and points out that as drought-resistance and high-yield wheat breeding develops forward, its research focuses have been moving from the researches dealing with drought-resistance physiological genetics to the current ones dealing with water-resistance and water-saving genetics, and that improving water use efficiency of wheat by breeding measures has been becoming an important research field in water-saving farming.
