Patenting Drought Tolerance in Organisms

Recent Patents on DNA & Gene Sequences, 2009
Dehydration is a major form of osmotic stress in cells. Physiological and molecular basis of dehydration stress responses in cells and organisms has been intensively researched over past years. Almost all of the patented dehydration stress tolerance genes from different organisms were used in engineering drought tolerance in crop plants.

Screening of mungbean for drought tolerance and transcriptome profiling between drought-tolerant and susceptible genotype in response to drought stress

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2020
Mungbean, is a widely cultivated pulse crop in India, experiences severe drought stress during the cultivation period. The mechanism of drought tolerance in mungbean is not well understood. In this presents study we screened 7 widely cultivated mungbean genotypes towards their drought sensitivity at seedling stage and transcriptome sequencing of ...

Drought Tolerance of Photosynthesis

2016
Drought is one of the major environmental factors that inhibits many metabolic processes and constrains plant growth and crop productivity. The ongoing global warming and current climate changes are enlarging the land areas where plants experience water deficit.

Drought tolerance in potatoes

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1979
SummaryIn field experiments made over 3 years Pentland Crown and Majestic gave, in general, higher total and dry matter yields from plots given no supplementary water and protected from rainfall throughout growth than King Edward or Maris Piper. However, on plots kept at or near to field capacity all varieties gave similar yields.

Drought Tolerance in Maize

2009
Drought is the single most common cause of severe crop production shortage in developing countries, and global warming is predicted to further exacerbate drought's impact. This chapter describes how to best evaluate segregating germplasm under water-limited conditions, what are the secondary traits to be included in the selection and why is it ...

Drought Stress Tolerance

2009
Drought stress severely limits plant growth and productivity. Traditional plant breeding strategies have made significant contributions to the generation of stress-tolerant plants. The problem in setting-up strategies for generating drought stress tolerant plants is the complex multigenic nature of the tolerance mechanisms.

Effect of Drought Stress on the Yield and Composition of Volatile Oils of Drought-Tolerant and Non-Drought-Tolerant Clones of Tagetes minuta

Planta Medica, 2002
A drought-tolerant clone of Tagetes minuta L. (Asteraceae) was selected in vitro on a medium containing 60 mM mannitol. In the greenhouse, a decrease in soil field capacity (FC) from 100 to 40 % reduced oil yield by 49, 71 and 71 % for drought-tolerant, non-drought tolerant cloned and seed-grown plants, respectively.

CIMMYT's approach to breed for drought tolerance

Euphytica, 1996
About 32% of the 99 million ha wheat grown in developing countries experiences varying levels of drought stress. Three major drought types have been identified: Late drought (LD) is common in the Mediterranean region, early drought (ED) is found in Latin America and wheat is produced on residual soil moisture (RM) in the Indian subcontinent and part of
