Transcriptomic analysis of field-droughted sorghum from seedling to maturity reveals biotic and metabolic responses. [PDF]

, 2019
Drought is the most important environmental stress limiting crop yields. The C4 cereal sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a critical food, forage, and emerging bioenergy crop that is notably drought-tolerant.

Evolutionary Origins of Drought Tolerance in Spermatophytes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
It is commonly known that drought stress is a major constraint limiting crop production. Drought stress and associated drought tolerance mechanisms are therefore under intense investigation with the view to future production of drought tolerant crops ...

Drought tolerance processes in soybeans

Biologia Plantarum, 1981
Fifteen soybean cultivars were evaluated in two water supply conditions, inducing or not a drought stress. Main canopy traits were measured several times during the reproductive period and, at maturity date, the yield components were estimated. Using principal components analysis, the main physiological functions involved in soybean drought tolerance ...

Conventional and molecular breeding strategies for improvement of drought tolerance cultivars in rice: Recent approaches and outlooks

Environment Conservation Journal, 2023
Rice is a vital staple food, especially in Asia, but it is highly susceptible to drought, leading to significant yield losses. To ensure food sustainability, drought-tolerant rice varieties are essential.

Selection for improved energy use efficiency and drought tolerance in canola results in distinct transcriptome and epigenome changes [PDF]

, 2015
To increase both the yield potential and stability of crops, integrated breeding strategies are used that have mostly a direct genetic basis, but the utility of epigenetics to improve complex traits is unclear. A better understanding of the status of the

Conditional and unconditional QTLs mapping of gluten strength in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
: Dissecting the genetic relationships among gluten-related traits is important for high quality wheat breeding. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) analysis for gluten strength, as measured by sedimentation volume (SV) and gluten index (GI), was performed ...

Drought Stress Results in a Compartment-Specific Restructuring of the Rice Root-Associated Microbiomes. [PDF]

, 2017
Plant roots support complex microbial communities that can influence plant growth, nutrition, and health. While extensive characterizations of the composition and spatial compartmentalization of these communities have been performed in different plant ...

Organic fertilizer and microbial agents increase soil quality and maize yield on coastal saline-alkali land

Soil and Water Research
To evaluate the effects of organic fertilizer and microbial agents on soil water and salt distribution, microorganisms, and crop yield on coastal saline-alkaline land, eight treatments were established, i.e., two maize varieties (Dajing Jiu 26 (J) and ...
