Drought is a predominant cause of low yields worldwide. There is an urgent need for more
water efficient cropping systems facing large water consumption of irrigated agriculture and …

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 …

Genetic advances in grain yield under rainfed conditions have been achieved by empirical
breeding methods. Progress is slowed, however, by large genotype× season and genotype× …

Drought is a wide-spread problem seriously influencing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
production and quality, but development of resistant cultivars is hampered by the lack of …

Adaptation to abiotic stresses is a quantitative trait controlled by many different genes.
Enhancing the tolerance of crop plants to abiotic stresses such as drought has therefore …

This single volume explores the theoretical and the practical aspects of crop physiological
processes around the world The marked decrease over the past century in the land …

Application of physiological and biochemical indices as a screening technique for drought
tolerance in wheat genotypes Page 1 African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 7 (14), pp. 2341-2352 …

Genotype–environment interactions (GEI) limit genetic gain for complex traits such as
tolerance to drought. Characterization of the crop environment is an important step in …

Genetic gain is characteristically slow when selecting directly for increased grain yield under
water‐limited conditions. Genetic increases in grain yield may be achieved through …

Crop productivity in semiarid regions is mainly limited by water availability. Root
characteristics and plasticity to drought may reduce the negative impact of drought on crop …
