Traits link drought resistance with herbivore defence and plant economics in semi‐arid grasslands: The central roles of phenology and leaf dry matter content

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2020
Despite progress in trait‐based ecology, there is limited understanding of the plant traits that structure semi‐arid grasslands. In particular, it remains unclear how traits that enable plants to cope with water limitation are related to traits that ...

Co-regulation of water and energy in the spatial heterogeneity of drought resistance and resilience

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
Vegetation resistance and resilience to drought are linked to the stability of terrestrial ecosystems under climate change. However, the factors driving the spatial heterogeneity in drought resistance and resilience remain poorly understood. In the study,

Regulation of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis by MdMYB88 and MdMYB124 contributes to pathogen and drought resistance in apple

open access: yesHorticulture Research, 2020
MdMYB88 and MdMYB124 have been demonstrated to be responsible for lignin accumulation in apple under drought stress. In this study, using a metabolomic approach, we identified differentially accumulated phenylpropanoid and flavonoid metabolites in ...

Drought resistance and resilience: The role of soil moisture–plant interactions and legacies in a dryland ecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2020
In many regions of the world, climate change is projected to reduce water availability through changes in the hydrological cycle, including more frequent and intense droughts, as well as seasonal shifts in precipitation. In water‐limited ecosystems, such

Phenomics‐based GWAS analysis reveals the genetic architecture for drought resistance in cotton

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Summary Drought resistance (DR) is a complex trait that is regulated by a variety of genes. Without comprehensive profiling of DR‐related traits, the knowledge of the genetic architecture for DR in cotton remains limited.

Grapevine VlbZIP30 improves drought resistance by directly activating VvNAC17 and promoting lignin biosynthesis through the regulation of three peroxidase genes

open access: yesHorticulture Research, 2020
Drought stress severely affects grapevine quality and yield, and recent reports have revealed that lignin plays an important role in protection from drought stress.

Genome-assisted Breeding For Drought Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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

Putting two water transport models to the test under wet and dry conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In order to improve fruit quality and quantity, accurate monitoring of the water status is necessary. The water status can be continuously predicted by using a mechanistic water transport and storage model (e.g. Steppe et al., 2006; 2008).
