Journal ArticleDOI
The association of biomass allocation with growth and water use efficiency of two Triticum aestivum cultivars
TL;DR: It is concluded that a lower rate of water use due to a lower transpiration per unit leaf area linked with a high leaf area can contribute to improve the performance of wheat cultivars in a water-limited environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree host–pathogen interactions as influenced by drought timing: linking physiological performance, biochemical defence and disease severity
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that timing of drought stress influences host physiology, and host condition influences canker disease susceptibility through differences in induced biochemical defence mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative growth rate, biomass allocation pattern and water use efficiency of three wheat cultivars during early ontogeny as dependent on water availability
TL;DR: Investigation of water use efficiency of whole plants and selected leaves and allocation patterns of three wheat cultivars to explore how variation in these traits can contribute to the ability to grow in dry environments found high ratios of photosynthesis to transpiration is regarded as a favourable trait for dry environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field drought conditions impact yield but not nutritional quality of the seed in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Millicent R. Smith,Erik J. Veneklaas,José A. Polanía,Idupulapati M. Rao,Stephen E. Beebe,Andrew Merchant +5 more
TL;DR: Genotypic variation in nutrient concentration in both the leaf and seed tissue was identified and should be explored further to identify traits that may confer tolerance to abiotic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yield and water use of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in a Mediterranean environment: Cultivar differences and sowing density effects
TL;DR: Water was used more efficiently for biomass production, and equally efficiently for grain production, under irrigated compared to rainfed conditions, and crop water use efficiency was higher for cultivars developed for rainfed environments than for those developed for high-rainfall or irrigated environments.
