Drought Tolerance of European Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Varieties
Agriculture, 2018 Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses that frequently causes severe loss in crop yield worldwide. Laboratory predictors of field drought tolerance could significantly increase the effectiveness of existing plant breeding programs. In earlier field

A new method for evaluating the drought tolerance of upland rice cultivars
Crop Journal, 2017 Worldwide, approximately 27 million ha of rice are grown in upland rather than paddy fields, and is subject to drought stress. To counter this stress, it is desirable to breed new rice cultivars with improved drought tolerance.

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]
, 2010 We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Cost Pass‐Through in Crisis: Evidence From the German Malt‐Beer Supply Chain
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract Global agri‐food supply chains are increasingly exposed to geopolitical shocks, climate volatility, and market consolidation, factors that disrupt traditional price relationships and reshape market power dynamics. Nowhere is this more visible than in the brewing sector, where agricultural raw materials meet complex industrial processing and ...

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.

Model assisted phenotyping of processes involved in rice response to drought: case study of a tropical japonica population during vegetative phase : [Abstract, P 7.15] [PDF]
, 2009 Tropical japonica rice is frequently exposed to drought in upland ecosystems. Its drought tolerance is poor compared to other crops but the group has great genetic, in part unexploited diversity in adaptations.
