Impact of water-deficit stress on tritrophic interactions in a wheat-aphid-parasitoid system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Increasing temperature and CO2 concentrations can alter tritrophic interactions in ecosystems, but the impact of increasingly severe drought on such interactions is not well understood.

WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES UNDER DEFICIT IRRIGATION
Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2008 Deficit irrigation (DI) is an optimization strategy whereby net returns are maximized by reducing the amount of irrigation water; crops are deliberated allowed to sustain some degree of water deficit and yield reduction. Although the DI strategy dates back to the 1970s, this technique is not usually adopted as a practical alternative to full irrigation

Comparison of drought stress response and gene expression between a GM maize variety and a near-isogenic non-GM variety [PDF]
, 2015 Maize MON810, grown and commercialised worldwide, is the only cultivated GM event in the EU. Maize MON810, variety DKC6575, and the corresponding near-isogenic line Tietar were studied in different growth conditions, to compare their behaviour in ...

Water-deficit equation: systematic analysis and improvement [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2013 The water-deficit equation {WD(1) = 0.6 × B(m) × [1 - (140 ÷ Na(+))]; B(m) denotes body mass} is used in medicine and nutrition to estimate the volume (L) of water required to correct dehydration during the initial stages of fluid-replacement therapy.

Drought tolerance of sugarcane propagules is improved when origin material faces water deficit.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Drought stress can imprint marks in plants after a previous exposure, leading to plant acclimation and a permissive state that facilitates a more effective response to subsequent stress events.
