Advanced Turf-type Bermudagrass Experimental Genotypes Show Marked Variation in Drought Response

open access: yesHortScience, 2023
Bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) is one of the most commonly used warm-season turfgrasses in the southern areas and transition zone of the United States. Due to the increasing demand for water resources and periodic drought, it is important to improve the ...

A novel aspect of essential oils: coating seeds with thyme essential oil induces drought resistance in wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Coating seeds with biostimulants is among the promising approaches in crop production to increase crop tolerance to drought stress. In this study, we evaluated the potential of coating durum wheat seeds of the cultivar ‘Karim’ with thyme essential oil on

Effective Use of Water and Increased Dry Matter Partitioned to Grain Contribute to Yield of Common Bean Improved for Drought Resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop.

INFLUENCE OF CALCIUM CARBONATE AND KAOLIN ON GROWTH, DROUGHT RESISTANCE INDEX AND PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAITS OF PAULOWNIA (PAULOWNIA TOMENTOSA, THUNB.) SEEDLINGS UNDER DROUGHT STRESS CONDITIONS

open access: yesPLANT ARCHIVES, 2021
Two pot experiments were carried out at lath house in the Nursery of Ornamental Plants, Hort. Dept., Zagazig Univ., Egypt during the two spring consecutive seasons of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 to study the effect of water stress (irrigation at 100, 75 and 50 % from field capacity), antioxidants type [(distilled water as control, 4 g/l of calcium ...

Suitability of the stress severity index combined with remote‐sensing data as a tool to evaluate drought resistance traits in potato

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, 2023
AbstractPotato is a drought susceptible crop and even short drought spells reduce tuber yields notably. In an earlier study we developed a stress severity index (SSI) based on the development stage of a genotype at the onset of drought and the soil water deficit based on soil water tension.

Evaluation of Drought Tolerance in Safflower Genotypes Based on Drought Tolerance indices

open access: yesNotulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2014
Among the different environmental stresses, drought is the constraint that induces a highly negative effect on crop production. In order to identify drought tolerant genotypes, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three ...

High resistance of deciduous forests and high recovery rate of evergreen forests under moderate droughts in China

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
The resistance and recovery rate of forest ecosystems to droughts vary with the severity of the drought. Studies on the impacts of severe droughts on forest ecosystems have suggested that evergreen forests have higher resistance than deciduous forests ...

Development of rice water-saving and drought resistance quantitative evaluation system of wide water ecological range based on quantitative gradient water control

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
The drought resistance of rice is an indirect observational and complex trait whose phenotype is reflected in the response of directly observational traits to drought stress.

Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices.

Plant hydraulic traits reveal islands as refugia from worsening drought. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Relatively mesic environments within arid regions may be important conservation targets as 'climate change refugia' for species persistence in the face of worsening drought conditions.
