Water-use efficiency (WUE) is often considered an important determinant of yield under
stress and even as a component of crop drought resistance. It has been used to imply that …

Drought is the most significant environmental stress in agriculture worldwide and improving
yield under drought is a major goal of plant breeding. A review of breeding progress pointed …

The spread of farming from western Asia to Europe had profound long-term social and
ecological impacts, but identification of the specific nature of Neolithic land management …

The need to accelerate breeding for increased yield potential and better adaptation to
drought and other abiotic stresses is an issue of increasing urgency. As the population …

There is a pressing need to improve the water-use efficiency of rain-fed and irrigated crop
production. Breeding crop varieties with higher water-use efficiency is seen as providing part …

Producing more food per unit of water has never been as important as it is at present, and
the demand for water by economic sectors other than agriculture will necessarily put a great …

Drought stress is the most pervasive threat to plant growth, which predominantly encumbers
turf grass growth by causing alterations in plant functions. This study appraised the role of …

Dehydration avoidance through cooler canopy temperature (CT) has been shown to explain
over 60% yield variation in a random progeny derived from a Seri/Babax cross. A near …

Upland rice, produced by smallholder farmers, is the lowest‐yielding rice production system.
Drought stress is the most severe abiotic constraint in upland rice. Improving productivity of …

High‐throughput crop phenotyping, particularly under field conditions, is nowadays
perceived as a key factor limiting crop genetic advance. Phenotyping not only facilitates …
