Breeding for Water Use Efficiency

, 2012
Among environmental factors, drought is the principal factor that limits global agricultural production. Many global agricultural regions are already suffering serious problems with water shortage and this scenario suggests that greater efforts are required in the development of alternatives for sustainable agriculture, such as the selection of ...

Leaf temperature impacts canopy water use efficiency independent of changes in leaf level water use efficiency

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2021
Canopy water use efficiency (above-ground biomass over lifetime water loss, WUEcanopy) can influence yield in wheat and other crops. Breeding for WUEcanopy is difficult because it is influenced by many component traits. For example, intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi), the ratio of net carbon assimilation (Anet) over stomatal conductance, contributes

Water use efficiency of China\u27s terrestrial ecosystems and responses to drought [PDF]

, 2015
Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss of terrestrial ecosystems, and better understanding its dynamics and controlling factors is essential for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change.

Combined effects of rain-shelter cultivation and deficit micro-sprinkler irrigation practice on yield, nutrient uptake, economic benefit and water productivity of Panax notoginseng in a semi-arid region of China

Agricultural Water Management
The excessive rainfall and irrigation amount in the facility herbal medicine production system (FHmPS) in China leading to a severe root rot disease of Panax notoginseng, which endangers root yield and quality, compromise economic profit and waste ...

Disentangling the role of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance on rising forest water-use efficiency

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Forests remove about 30% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions through photosynthesis and return almost 40% of incident precipitation back to the atmosphere via transpiration.

Radiation Use Efficiency and Soil Water Content on Maize-mungbean Intercropping [PDF]

, 2014
Mungbean is traditionally intercropped with maize by small-scale farmers which do widely in the tropics, including Southeast Sulawesi. This study aims to assess the radiation use efficiency (RUE) and soil water content (SWC) in maize intercropped with

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Coupling effects of irrigation level and terrain slope on disease, yield and quality of Panax notoginseng under micro-sprinkler irrigation

Agricultural Water Management
At present, the state has introduced the policy of forest Chinese herbal medicine planting planning, strictly prohibiting the planting of Chinese herbal medicine in basic farmland, coupled with the fact that the continuous cropping obstacles of Panax ...

Linking water use efficiency with water use strategy from leaves to communities

New Phytologist, 2023
SummaryLimitations and utility of three measures of water use characteristics were evaluated: water use efficiency (WUE), intrinsic WUE and marginal water cost of carbon gain () estimated, respectively, as ratios of assimilation (A) to transpiration (E), of A to stomatal conductance (gs) and of sensitivities of E and A with variation in gs.

Water Use Efficiency of Selected Cowpea Cultivars (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) Grown on Residual Soil Moisture in Northeast Nigeria [PDF]

, 2018
A field experiment was carried out in the Fadama of Jere bowl to assess the water extraction and water use efficiency of two improved (IT 86D-719 and IT88D-867-11) and one local (Borno Brown ) cowpea cultivars grown on residual soil moisture.
