Biotechnology and Drought Tolerance
Journal of Crop Improvement, 2009Abiotic stresses present a major challenge in our quest for sustainable food production as these may reduce the potential yields by 70% in crop plants. Of all abiotic stresses, drought is regarded as the most damaging. The complex nature of drought tolerance limits its management through conventional breeding methods.

Agricultural Water Management, 1983
Jensen. S.D. and Cavalieri, A.J., 1983. Drought tolerance in US maize. Agric. Water Manage., 7: 223–236. Soil water deficits, especially when accompanied by excessively high temperatures, are probably the most common yield limiting factors in maize production.

Plant Growth Regulation, 1996
Drought tolerance is a nebulous term that becomes more nebulous the more closely we look at it, much as a newspaper photograph does when viewed through a magnifying glass. From the vantage point of an ecologist the features that distinguish xerophytic from mesophytic vegetation are clear.

Drought tolerance genes in rice
Functional & Integrative Genomics, 2006Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for drought tolerance (DT) can be readily identified in available databases and in this paper, these QTLs were summarized in the form of a consensus map. An in silico strategy was then deployed to mine for candidate genes associated with DT QTLs using rice dbEST and rice genome databases. DT QTLs on rice chromosomes 1, 2,

Assessment of Drought Tolerance in Sainfoin: Physiological and Drought Tolerance Indices
Agronomy Journal, 2015The physiological basis of genetic variation in drought response and its association with forage yield and drought tolerance indices is not clear in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.). In this study, 100 sainfoin genotypes from 10 ecotypes were clonally propagated and evaluated under non‐stressed and water deficit conditions during 2 yr ...

Phenotype and Drought Tolerance in Wheat
Agricultural Meteorology, 1974Abstract An extensive root system is associated with drought resistance in wheat and selection for high yield under moisture stress conditions does select for larger root system. While breeders have occasionally selected consciously, or unconsciously, for extensive rooting, a systematic breeding program for a desirable root system will contribute to ...
