In the present study two different species of wheat (Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum), cultivated in a growth chamber, were used to investigate the effects of drought occurring at different phenological stages. Plant physiological traits and spectral leaf reflectance were used to assess the potential of remote sensing techniques. Drought stress was applied either at flowering and/or at grain filling. Subsequently, a treatment following recovery after drought stress at flowering was set up. The effects of drought were traced by following the changes in plant physiological traits (i.e. photosynthetic rate, leaf conductance, relative and actual leaf water content) as well as in leaf reflectance. Drought resulted in a significant reduction of plant physiological traits and water relations, independently of the time of its occurrence. Rewatering plants after the stress period at flowering resulted in a recovery of plant physiological traits. Single leaf reflectance of plants subjected to drought increased over the entire range of the spectrum. However, five spectral regions with relatively high differences were observed: 520每530 nm, 570每590 nm, 690每710 nm, 1410每1470 nm and 1880每1940 nm. Additionally, three spectral indices were tested towards their applicability for tracing drought stress and subsequent recovery, yielding a reasonable relationship with measured leaf water content, photosynthetic rate and leaf nitrogen content %K wheat %K drought stress %K recovery %K leaf reflectance %K relative water content %K photosynthesis %K chlorophyll %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=51840
