Water-Use Efficiency: Advances and Challenges in a Changing Climate
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Water use efficiency (WUE) is defined as the amount of carbon assimilated as biomass or grain produced per unit of water used by the crop. One of the primary questions being asked is how plants will respond to a changing climate with changes in ...

Calculation and Simulation of Evapotranspiration of Applied Water
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012 The University of California, Davis and the California Department of Water Resources have developed a weather generator application program “SIMETAW” to simulate weather data from climatic records and to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and ...

Breeding for high water-use efficiency [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2004 There is a pressing need to improve the water-use efficiency of rain-fed and irrigated crop production. Breeding crop varieties with higher water-use efficiency is seen as providing part of the solution. Three key processes can be exploited in breeding for high water-use efficiency: (i) moving more of the available water through the crop rather than it
