The performance of wheat is heavily influenced by a variety of environmental factors and the
most important of which is rainfall, which has a significant impact on its growth and
development. The occurrence of erratic rainfalls, with a delay in the arrival of rains during
the growing season, is among one the factors affecting the crop's performance and yields.
Water stress causes morphological and biochemical changes in plants, which eventually lead
to functional impairment and the loss of plant parts (Naeem et al., 2015). The large threat of
climate change upcoming on agriculture, emphasizes conserving resources for sustained
production which may be environmentally friendly. Development and dissemination of
short-duration varieties, which can withstand the climatic irregularities predictable in the
future, should be given priority in the mountain region (Hussain and Mudasser, 2007).
