Discrimination of drought tolerance in a worldwide collection of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes based on selection indices

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2021
Improvement of elite safflower genotypes for drought-tolerance is hampered by a deficiency of effective selection criteria. The present study evaluated 100 genotypes of safflower in terms of their drought tolerance over a period of three years (2016–2018)

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Irrigation of previous crops alleviates the negative impact of replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers on foxtail millet yield

Agricultural Water Management
Switching from chemical to organic fertilizers is considered an ideal choice because it can yield numerous benefits for soil health, environmental sustainability, and crop production. However, it is still unclear how to effectively implement and maximize

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 ...
