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.

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Drought Tolerance in Digitaria
The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico, 1971 Selected clones of 10 Digitaria species were evaluated for drought tolerance in field trials. Grasses were established by vegetative propagation during the wet season. Observations on survival and growth were made at intervals throughout the 25-month duration of the trial.
