Genome-wide association mapping (GWAM) is crucial for identifying the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, such as drought tolerance indices in bread wheat. This study aims to identify Marker-Trait Associations (MTAs) and genes related to drought tolerance indices in wheat. Seven drought tolerance indices were calculated based on grain weight per spike under field drought stress (FDS) and field non-stress (FNS) conditions. These indices included mean productivity (MP), geometric mean productivity (GMP), relative drought index (RDI), stress tolerance index (STI), tolerance index (TOL), stress susceptibility index (SSI), and yield stability index (YSI). Genotyping of the samples was performed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A total of 96 MTAs were identified for the studied indices and conditions FNS and FDS in this experiment, with a threshold of -log10p ≥ 3.0. These included FNS, FDS, GMP, MP, STI, SSI, RDI, and YSI, with 15, 11, 16, 16, 20, 6, 6, and 6 MTAs, respectively. The MTAs identified for the drought tolerance indices GMP, MP, and STI were located on chromosomes 2 A, 3B, and 6 A, respectively. Moreover, this study identified four genes related to the indices, namely “TraesCS2B02G000100,” “TraesCS3A02G000100,” “TraesCS2B02G000200,” and “TraesCS4B02G000100”. These genes play a crucial role in drought tolerance and can be utilized for marker-assisted selection to enhance drought tolerance wheat genotypes.
