Transcriptome pathways unique to dehydration tolerant relatives of modern wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Among abiotic stressors, drought is a major factor responsible for dramatic yield loss in agriculture. In order to reveal differences in global expression profiles of drought tolerant and sensitive wild emmer wheat genotypes, a previously deployed shock ...

Identification of drought, heat and combined drought and heat tolerant donors in maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Low maize yields and the impacts of climate change on maize production highlight the need to improve yields in eastern and southern Africa. Climate projections suggest higher temperatures within drought-prone areas.

Optimum Nitrogen and Phosphorus Combination Improved Yield and Nutrient Use Efficiency of Sorghum in Saline Soil

open access: yesPlants
Two-year experiments were conducted to assess the responses of yield and nutrient use efficiency of sorghum to nitrogen and phosphorus under saline soils. Three nitrogen rates (0, 180, and 360 N kg ha−1) and three phosphorus rates (0, 60, and 120 P2O5 kg

The combination of drought and heat stress has a greater effect on potato plants than single stresses

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2020
Several research groups have examined the effects of drought stress and heat stress on potato, but few investigations of the effects of combined drought-heat stress have been reported.

Characterization of gene expression associated with drought avoidance and tolerance traits in a perennial grass species. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
To understand molecular mechanisms of perennial grass adaptation to drought stress, genes associated with drought avoidance or tolerance traits were identified and their expression patterns were characterized in C4 hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon ...

Mineral Nutrient Uptake, Accumulation, and Distribution in Cunninghamia lanceolata in Response to Drought Stress

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Mineral accumulation in plants under drought stress is essential for drought tolerance. The distribution, survival, and growth of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.), an evergreen conifer, can be affected by climate change, particularly ...

The 2010 spring drought reduced primary productivity in southwestern China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Many parts of the world experience frequent and severe droughts. Summer drought can significantly reduce primary productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. The impacts of spring droughts, however, have received much less attention.

Melatonin imparts tolerance to combined drought and high-temperature stresses in tomato through osmotic adjustment and ABA accumulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
In recent years, environmental stresses viz., drought and high-temperature negatively impacts the tomato growth, yield and quality. The effects of combined drought and high-temperature (HT) stresses during the flowering stage were investigated.

Effect of drought stress on yield, proline and chlorophyll contents in three chickpea cultivars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stresses in agriculture worldwide. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of drought stress on proline content, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis and transpiration, stomatal conductance and yield
