Water shortage and heterogeneity in precipitation constitute the essential limiting factors for
agricultural production in the Mediterranean basin. To understand the complex inheritance …

The response of plants to drought stress is very complex and involves expression of a lot of
genes and pathways for diverse mechanisms and interactions with environments. Many …

We analysed the natural variation of drought response in 11 Tunisian populations of
Medicago truncatula sampled from environments that varied in soil composition, salinity and …

Drought tolerance is one of the most important but complex traits of crops. We looked for
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that affect drought tolerance in maize. Two maize inbreds and …

Drought tolerance is a complex trait in soybean that is controlled by polygenetic quantitative
trait loci (QTLs). In this study, wilting score, days-to-wilting, leaf relative water content, and …

Thorough understanding of the genetic mechanisms governing drought adaptive traits can
facilitate drought resistance improvement. This study was conducted to identify chromosome …

St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) is a warm-season grass species commonly
utilized as turf in the southeastern US. Improvement in the drought tolerance of St …

Background Identification of genes underlying drought tolerance (DT) quantitative trait loci
(QTLs) will facilitate understanding of molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance, and also …

Drought at the reproductive stage of pearl millet is one of the most important environmental
factors reducing its yield and yield stability. We are using a QTL mapping approach to better …

SUMMARY SSR genotyping was combined with selective genotyping to map quantitative
trait loci (QTLs) associated with drought tolerance in rice. A total of 229lines (BC2F2) derived …
