Drought limits cereal yields in several regions of the world and plant water status plays an
important role in tolerance to drought. To investigate and understand the genetic and …

We have developed 85 new markers (50 RFLPs, 5 SSRs, 12 DD cDNAs, 9 ESTs, 8 HSP-
encoding cDNAs and one BSA-derived AFLP marker) for saturation mapping of QTL regions …

Testing of the extent to which different complex traits share common genetic control provides
a means to distinguish associations that are truly diagnostic of genetic potential for improved …

A review is presented of genetic strategies deployed in a 3‐yr project on drought tolerance
in barley. Data were collected on genetic, physiological and agronomic traits in non …

With the goal of identifying molecular components of the low-water-potential response, we
have carried out a two-part selection and screening strategy to identify new Arabidopsis …

Drought is one of the major plagues affecting crop production worldwide. Climate changes
will increase the frequency of droughts, particularly in Southeast Asia and Central America; …

Crop production and climate change affect each other because crop production (1)
produces greenhouse gases (GHGs),(2) is affected by climate change,(3) will have to adapt …

World-wide, abiotic stress curtails production and lowers the quality and nutritional value of
the grain in cereal crops. Among all abiotic stresses, drought is the most important from an …

Agriculture in the Old World started about 10,000 years ago, coinciding with the beginning of
the Holocene. From this time up to the present, C3 cereals, such as bread (Triticum aestivum …

The success of breeding for yield stability in stressful environments has been limited due to
the high variability, timing, duration and severity of a number of climatic stresses. In the …
