Sustaining agricultural production under adverse environmental conditions, such as drought
and high salinity, represents a major challenge. The discovery of key genes and signal …

Plant survival in adverse environmental conditions requires a substantial change in the
metabolism, which is reflected by the extensive transcriptome rebuilding upon the …

Drought is a central abiotic stress for both natural plant populations and agricultural crops.
Substantial natural genetic variation in drought resistance traits has been identified in plant …

Résumé Drought negatively affects plant development, growth, yield, and ultimately
production of crop species. Association analysis of yield and yield-contributing traits was …

Abstract Background Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the fourth most important cereal crop
worldwide. Barley production is compromised by many abiotic stresses including drought …

Drought stress is the primary environmental factor that negatively influences plant growth
and yield in cereal grain crops such as maize (Zea mays L.). Crop breeding efforts for …

Mapping of quantitative trait genes (QTGs) associated with drought related traits is essential
for improving drought tolerance in crop species. In silico identification of candidate genes …

Sunflower is one of the most important oil crops in the world, and drought stress can
severely limit its production and quality. To understand the underlying mechanism of drought …

Drought stress presents a considerable threat to the global crop production. As a dominant
source of vegetarian diet, cereals and grain-legumes remain crucial to meeting the growing …

Key message Association mapping of drought-related traits in barley was used to increase
the density of existing QTL maps without recreating mapping populations. Abstract We used …
