Plant memory refers to the phenomenon where past environmental experiences influence the responses of plants to current/future events. Drought stress has a mostly significant negative impact on wheat, which is a vital crop for global food security. In the context of germination, plant memory can manifest as 'transgenerational priming', where mother plants exposure to drought stress alters the germination behavior of the next-generation seeds. Therefore, our study aimed to explore the genetic factors underpinning transgenerational drought tolerance in wheat using a diverse collection of 111 by the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS). In the seed germination test, all genotypes had higher Germination Percentage (G%) and Germination Pace (GP) from seeds of Stressed Plants (OSP) than those of Non-Stressed Plants (ONP) by 16% and 29%, respectively), indicating that Transgenerational Stress Memory …
