Breeding for Drought Resistance

, 2021
Drought is the most severe abiotic stresses in many parts of the world and is one of the major problems in present-day climatic scenario. Drought tolerant varieties are with high demand which seems to be a great challenging task to plant breeders however difficulties are combined by the difficulty of crop yield on the genetic and physiological bases ...

Response of Watermelon to Drought Stress and Its Drought-Resistance Evaluation. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
This study investigated the response of watermelon seedlings to drought stress by assessing the growth, physiological, and biochemical indices using a pot-based continuous drought method. Drought stress indices, phenotypic plasticity indices, and membership function values were calculated, followed by a correlation analysis, principal component ...

Drought resistance: Spraying for yield

Nature Plants, 2017
Trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) is an essential signalling molecule in plants. A novel chemical intervention strategy to increase in planta T6P levels has now been presented, with remarkable effects on plant yield and drought tolerance.

Genome-assisted Breeding For Drought Resistance [PDF]

Current Genomics, 2016
Drought stress caused by unpredictable precipitation poses a major threat to food production worldwide, and its impact is only expected to increase with the further onset of climate change. Understanding the effect of drought stress on crops and plants' response is critical for developing improved varieties with stable high yield to fill a growing food

Phenotyping transgenic wheat for drought resistance [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2012
Realistic experimental protocols to screen for drought adaptation in controlled conditions are crucial if high throughput phenotyping is to be used for the identification of high performance lines, and is especially important in the evaluation of transgenes where stringent biosecurity measures restrict the frequency of open field trials.

Satellite evidence of canopy-height dependence of forest drought resistance in southwestern China

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
The frequency and intensity of drought events are increasing with warming climate, which has resulted in worldwide forest mortality. Previous studies have reached a general consensus on the size-dependency of forest resistance to drought, but further ...

2‐line Ferrihydrite Enhance Microbial Synthesis of Plant Biostimulants in Composted Biosolid by Regulating Phyla Pseudomonadota and Actinomycetota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores how iron and manganese oxides transform sewage sludge into plant biostimulants during composting. Non‐targeted identification reveals the main species of plant biostimulants. Metagenomic analysis reveals that 2‐line ferrihydrite specifically enriches microbial genes for biosynthesis, boosting plant‐growth promoters.
