ABSTRACT Drought stress severely impacts wheat growth, development and yield, significantly challenging global food security. Wheat is a staple crop worldwide, increasing its drought resilience crucial. Trehalose, stress‐protective disaccharide, crucial for enhancing tolerance. This review examines strategies strengthening wheat's through trehalose, including genetic modifications to enhance trehalose synthesis external applications. It discusses how influences vital physiological processes—such as osmotic adjustment, oxidative reduction cellular stability—that collectively boost Additionally, this explores nano‐trehalose formulations, particularly chitosan, innovative means improve delivery efficacy. The also synthesises recent findings, highlighting trehalose's role in supporting tolerance broader potential sustainable agriculture. Integrating trehalose‐based nanotechnology offers promising pathway developing drought‐resistant varieties, contributing production

Abstract Future crop production will depend on plant plasticity in response to increases atmospheric CO 2 , mean temperature, heatwave and drought events. The present review intends highlight the impact of interactions between high levels, warming water deficit existing published experimental data case wheat. To do so, we identified experiments quantifying effects such traits related productivity use. We used collected estimate indices assessing compensation interaction elevated CO2 adverse climatic conditions, bringing a new perspective matter. In studied data, even though there is an important variability, found that tends decrease despite positive rise concentration. Conversely, with consumption warmer conditions. hypothesized effect greater under which confirmed 54% experiments. This highlights need acquire further possible future conditions calibrate validate models: their range validity requires more thorough testing wide projected environmental
