•Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) is important water-saving technique based on plants’ adaptive and specific responses to drought.•Appropriate RDI significantly increased drought resistance ability of winter wheat through improving the nHRS sensitivity of plants during progressive soil drying.•App...
