Journal ArticleDOI
Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought.
Louise H. Comas,Steven R. Becker,Von Mark V. Cruz,Von Mark V. Cruz,Patrick F. Byrne,David A. Dierig +5 more
TL;DR: Xylem pit anatomy that makes xylem less “leaky” and prone to cavitation warrants further exploration holding promise that such traits may improve plant productivity in water-limited environments without negatively impacting yield under adequate water conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association mapping of yield and yield components of spring wheat under contrasting moisture regimes.
TL;DR: A stable QTL that may be used in marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding programs was detected for yield, yield components and drought tolerance-related traits in spring wheat association mapping panel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative trait loci and metabolic pathways: genetic control of the concentration of maysin, a corn earworm resistance factor, in maize silks.
Patrick F. Byrne,Michael D. McMullen,Maurice E. Snook,Theresa A. Musket,J. M. Theuri,Neil W. Widstrom,B. R. Wiseman,Edward H. Coe +7 more
TL;DR: The results provide evidence that regulatory loci have a central role and that there is a complex interplay among different branches of the flavonoid pathway in the expression of this trait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association mapping and nucleotide sequence variation in five drought tolerance candidate genes in spring wheat
Erena A. Edae,Patrick F. Byrne,Harish Manmathan,Scott D. Haley,Marc Moragues,Marta S. Lopes,Matthew P. Reynolds +6 more
TL;DR: Five drought tolerance candidate genes, namely dehydration responsive element binding 1A, DREB1A, enhanced response to abscisic acid, and fructan 1‐exohydrolase, are characterized in wheat for nucleotide and haplotype diversity, Tajima's D value, and linkage disequilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porter,Alan J. Schlegel,Jeff Schussler,Tim L. Setter,J. Shanahan,Robert E. Sharp,Tony J. Vyn,Dave Warner,Jim Gaffney +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the severity of this drought event and the impact on grain prices in relation to previous droughts of similar magnitude and use this information to highlight priorities for global research on drought and crop productivity to help buffer against future climatic shocks to global food supply.
