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.

Patenting Drought Tolerance in Organisms
Recent Patents on DNA & Gene Sequences, 2009Dehydration 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.

Drought Tolerance of Photosynthesis
2016Drought 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 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 ...

Evaluation of Drought Tolerance in Durum Wheat Genotypes Using Drought Tolerance Indices
Ethiopian Journal of Crop Science, 2022Drought has become challenging globally, particularly under rain-fed crop production systems of Ethiopia. It is one of the major causes for wheat yield reduction. One hundred forty-four durum wheat genotypes were evaluated at Debre-Zeit experiment station in 2017 dry season, under drought stressed and non-stressed environments, to identify ...

Drought Tolerant Sorghum and Cotton Germplasm
Agricultural Water Management, 1983Abstract Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) are the summer crops traditionally grown in the rainfed or supplementary irrigated areas of the semi-arid southern Great Plains. Both crops have the ability to withstand periods of water deficit and to yield an economic return to the farmer.

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 ...

Are Shade-Tolerant Plants Also Drought-Tolerant
Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Research Conference ProceedingsThis study examines the relationship between drought and shade tolerance in herbaceous plants, which is traditionally assumed to be mutually exclusive due to divergent resource allocation strategies. By collecting and analyzing relevant biochemical and morphological traits on a variety of plants native to grasslands in south eastern Ontario, a ...
