Drought resistance index screening and evaluation of lettuce under water deficit conditions on the basis of morphological and physiological differences. [PDF]
IntroductionWater is one of the important factors affecting the yield of leafy vegetables. Lettuce, as a widely planted vegetable, requires frequent irrigation due to its shallow taproot and high leaf evaporation rate. Therefore, screening drought-resistant genotypes is of great significance for lettuce production.MethodsIn the present study ...

Comprehensive Evaluation and Construction of Drought Resistance Index System in Hulless Barley Seedlings. [PDF]
With global climate change ongoing, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have increased annually. Hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum), a primary crop cultivated in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau mountains, frequently encounters multiple abiotic stresses including low temperature, high salinity, and drought.

A drought resistance index to select drought resistant plant species based on leaf water potential measurements [PDF]
The water deficit in arid and semi-arid regions is the primary limiting factor for the development of urban greenery and forestation. In addition, planting the species that consume low levels of water is useful in arid and semi-arid regions that have poor water management measures.

Pod harvest index as a selection criterion to improve drought resistance in white pea bean
Abstract Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important food legume grown in Africa and Latin America, where water deficits frequently reduce grain yield. The objectives of this study were to identify advanced lines of common bean with superior seed yield under drought, and to identify plant traits that could serve as selection criteria for ...
