Modelling predicts that heat stress, not drought, will increase vulnerability of wheat in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
New crop cultivars will be required for a changing climate characterised by increased summer drought and heat stress in Europe. However, the uncertainty in climate predictions poses a challenge to crop scientists and breeders who have limited time and ...

Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals common molecular factors responsive to heat and drought stress in Agrostis stolonifera

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Heat and drought stress are primary abiotic stresses confining growth of cool-season grass species during summer. The objective of this study was to identify common molecular factors and metabolic pathways associated with heat and drought responses in ...

An Integrated Framework for Drought Stress in Plants

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Potential of elite maize composites for drought tolerance in stress and non-drought stress environments

open access: yesAfrican Crop Science Journal, 2002
(Received 11 December, 1999; accepted 11 November, 2001) ABSTRACT Drought stress is a major factor limiting the productivity of maize (Zea mays L.) in West and Central Africa. This study was conducted to assess drought tolerance/susceptibility in nine early maturing maize composites, including five drought tolerant selections.

MITIGATION OF DROUGHT STRESS IN TOMATO WITH ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM (L.) LE JOL. EXTRACTS

open access: yes, 2014
Growth and development of a plant can be affected due to various biotic and abiotic stresses such as water, salinity, frost and pathogens. Application of seaweeds and their extracts to mitigate plant stresses in agriculture is one of the promising ...

Thirsty country: climate change and drought in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This report argues that climate change is likely making drought worse in the southeast and southwest of Australia, which are some of our most populous regions. Introduction Drought has deeply affected Australia throughout its history.

Non-linear effects of drought under shade: reconciling physiological and ecological models in plant communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The combined effects of shade and drought on plant performance and the implications for species interactions are highly debated in plant ecology. Empirical evidence for positive and negative effects of shade on the performance of plants under dry ...

Monitoring drought responses of barley genotypes with semi-robotic phenotyping platform and association analysis between recorded traits and allelic variants of some stress genes

open access: yes, 2013
Genetic improvement of complex traits such as drought adaptation can be advanced by the combination of genomic and phenomic approaches. Semi-robotic phenotyping platform was used for computer-controlled watering, digital and thermal imaging of barley ...

Deciphering the determinants of molecular physiological responses to drought and heat stress in sorghum lines contrasting in stress tolerance via a proteomics approach

open access: yes, 2022
Philosophiae Doctor - PhDSorghum is an important crop in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The predicted rise in global temperatures will increase the probability of exposing sorghum to heat waves in combination with drought.
