Improving Intrinsic Water-Use Efficiency and Crop Yield
Crop Science, 2002 Greater yield per unit rainfall is one of the most important challenges in dryland agriculture. Improving intrinsic water‐use efficiency (WT), the ratio of CO2 assimilation rate to transpiration rate at the stomata, may be one means of achieving this goal.
