Understanding the interrelationships between agronomic and water status characters helps development of drought tolerant cultivars. In the present study, 34 wheat genotypes were used to investigate joint variability of water status characters and yield related traits under normal irrigation regimes and drought stress in 2014-2015 growing season. The results indicated that selection of genotypes based on loadings in factors number 1, 3 and 4 would be of beneficial in terms of increasing grain yield related traits under drought stress conditions. In canonical correlation analysis (CCA), the first (U1, V1) and second (U2, V2) pairs canonical variables (CV) explained 75% and 67% of the total joint variability of agronomic and physiological traits under drought stress conditions, respectively. The first (V1) physiological CV that had positive correlation with water saturated deficit (WSD, r = 0.63) and excised leaf water loss (ELWL, r = 0.35) was more correlated with grain yield and harvest index under drought stress. The second (V2) physiological CV which was more influenced by variations in initial water content (IWC, r = 0.6) and leaf water content (LWC, r = 0.65) was associated with spike length and spikelet per spike variations. Significant between-groups mean squares advocated that classification of genotypes into four groups was the best possible branching under both conditions. Therefore, making crosses between genotypes of cluster numbers 1 (with high grain yield and its components) and 3 (having shortest height) can be used for the production of extreme or novel phenotypes for grain yield and dwarfness in the progenitors in further breeding programs for drought tolerance.
