Farmers' stress and coping in a time of drought

Rural and Remote Health, 2012
Farmers as a group have unique attitudes, sources of stress and a heightened risk of suicide. In the context of a prolonged drought and associated stress and increased risk of mental-health problems, this study provides an insight into the levels of psychological distress experienced by different demographic groups within the Australian farming ...

Photosynthetic performance and sucrose metabolism in superior and inferior rice grains with overlapping growth stages under water stress

Scientific Reports
Drought stress at jointing and booting stages of plant development directly affects plant growth and productivity in rice. Jointing and booting stages may overlap in high-latitude areas where water deficits occur.

Experimental Design to Determine Drought Stress Response and Early Leaf Senescence in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Bio-Protocol, 2016
Premature leaf senescence induced by drought stress is a main factor for yield losses in barley. Research in drought stress tolerance has become more important as due to climate change the number of drought periods will increase and tolerance to drought ...

Response of Watermelon to Drought Stress and Its Drought-Resistance Evaluation

Plants
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 ...

Increased CO2 concentrations increasing water use efficiency and improvement PSII function of mulberry seedling leaves under drought stress

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2019
In this paper, the effects of different CO2 concentrations (400 and 800 μmol·mol−1) on photosynthetic gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence of mulberry (Morus alba L.) seedling leaves under drought stress were studied using an artificial climate ...

An Integrated Framework for Drought Stress in Plants

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
With global warming, drought stress is becoming increasingly severe, causing serious impacts on crop yield and quality. In order to survive under adverse conditions such as drought stress, plants have evolved a certain mechanism to cope. The tolerance to drought stress is mainly improved through the synergistic effect of regulatory pathways, such as ...

Evaluation of Drought Tolerance in Rapeseed Genotypes under Non Stress and Drought Stress Conditions

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2011
Drought is a wide spread problem seriously influencing rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) production, mostly in dryland regions. This study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. Twenty three rapeseed genotypes were tested in a split plot design based on randomized complete block design ...

Role of Microbes in Alleviating Crop Drought Stress: A Review

Plants
Drought stress is an annual global phenomenon that has devastating effects on crop production, so numerous studies have been conducted to improve crop drought resistance. Plant-associated microbiota play a crucial role in crop health and growth; however,
