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

An integrated and comparative approach towards identification, characterization and functional annotation of candidate genes for drought tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) [PDF]

, 1991
BACKGROUND: Drought is the most disastrous abiotic stress that severely affects agricultural productivity worldwide. Understanding the biological basis of drought-regulated traits, requires identification and an in-depth characterization of genetic ...

Breeding for Improved Drought Tolerance

, 2012
The combination of a changing global climate and an increasing world population requires that crops for food, fibre and fuel need to be more resilient to hotter and drier conditions than they have been in the past. Given the years required to develop and release new varieties, breeders have been working hard to achieve this goal.

Response of foxtail millet yield, soil chemical property and bacterial community to different green manure-foxtail millet rotation models in North China

Frontiers in Microbiology
China is a largely agricultural country, while the drought climate in northern of China is more and more severe, which influences on the agriculture production seriously. The over-exploitation of groundwater is a critical issue in the low plains of Hebei

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

Effects of tillage practices and rate of nitrogen fertilization on crop yield and soil carbon and nitrogen

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2014
We conducted field experiments since 2006 to determine the effect of tillage practices and rate of nitrogen fertilization on soil properties and crop yield. Four tillage practices and five N rates were used.

Hyperspectral machine-learning model for screening tea germplasm resources with drought tolerance

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Drought tolerance and quality stability are important indicators to evaluate the stress tolerance of tea germplasm resources. The traditional screening method of drought resistant germplasm is mainly to evaluate by detecting physiological and biochemical

JUNGBRUNNEN1 confers drought tolerance downstream of the HD-Zip I Transcription factor AtHB13 [PDF]

, 2017
Low water availability is the major environmental factor limiting growth and productivity of plants and crops and is therefore considered of high importance for agriculture affected by climate change.

Integration of Spatiotemporal Multi‐Omics in Peach Fruit Unravels a Metabolic Niche and the Genetic Basis of Trichome‐Mediated Stress Adaptation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructed the first spatiotemporal multi‐omics map of peach fruit and discovered a key candidate gene that synergistically regulates trichome development and drought tolerance through the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, providing insights into the coupling mechanism between development and stress resistance.
