Drought tolerance mechanisms are crucial for global crop production under increasing water scarcity. It is important to understand these mechanisms in raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars to support their water-limited stress tolerance. This study assessed the physiological, biochemical, and leaf morphological responses of two commercial cultivars, 'Diamond Jubilee' and 'Jade', across two seasons (2022 and 2024) under controlled irrigation: full irrigation (100%), moderate drought (50%), and PE
