Exploring traditional aus-type for metabolites conferring drought tolerance [PDF]

, 2018
Traditional varieties and landraces belonging to the aus-type group of rice (Oryza sativa L.) are known to be highly tolerant to environmental stresses, such as drought and heat, and are therefore recognized as a valuable genetic resource for crop ...

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Water Efficiency and Corporate Carbon Performance: The Roles of CSR, Regulation, and Industry Intensity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether firm‐level water management efficiency is associated with corporate carbon emissions, and whether this association is moderated by corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance, environmental regulatory stringency, and industry water intensity.

Identification of crucial drought-tolerant genes of barley through comparative transcriptomic analysis and yeast-based stress assay

Frontiers in Genetics
Drought is a persistent and serious threat to crop yield and quality. The identification and functional characterization of drought tolerance-related genes is thus vital for efforts to support the genetic improvement of drought-tolerant crops.
