TLDR
Breeders are asked to blend together all knowledge on the traits sustaining yield under drought and to accumulate the most effective QTLs and/or transgenes into elite genotypes without detrimental effects on yield potential, which will lead to new cultivars with high yield potential and high yield stability, that will result in superior performance in dry environments.About:

Comparison of rank-based stability statistics for grain yield in rainfed durum wheat
TL;DR: In this paper, the repeatability, similarity and accuracy of the estimates of mean yields and 10 rank-based stability statistics calculated from 25 rainfed durum wheat genotypes grown in 21 diversified rainfed environments were examined.

Genetic dissection of heading date and yield under Mediterranean dry climate in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.)
Elahe Tavakol,Elahe Tavakol,Nader Elbadry,Nader Elbadry,Alessandro Tondelli,Luigi Cattivelli,Laura Rossini,Laura Rossini +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a genome wide association analysis (GWAS) was carried out using gene-based SNPs incorporated in the Illumina iSELECT Chip with known map position, and a total of 4169 polymorphic SNPs were considered after filtering out SNPs with >10% missing data and <10% minimum allele frequency.

Managing drought risk in a changing climate: Irrigation and cultivar impacts on Michigan asparagus
TL;DR: In this paper, a long-term field experiment was conducted on sandy soils in Western Michigan from 2010-17 to evaluate the effects of three levels of irrigation (none, overhead or sub-surface drip) and two asparagus cultivars (Guelph Millennium [GM] and Jersey Supreme [JS]) for reducing these risks.

Stability Parameters for Comparing Varieties
S. A. Eberhart,W. A. Russell +1 more
TL;DR: The model, Yij = μ1 + β1Ij + δij, defines stability parameters that may be used to describe the performance of a variety over a series of environments to see whether genetic differences could be detected.

Understanding plant responses to drought — from genes to the whole plant
TL;DR: Attention is drawn to the perception and signalling processes (chemical and hydraulic) of water deficits, which are essential for a holistic understanding of plant resistance to stress, which is needed to improve crop management and breeding techniques.

Plant responses to drought, salinity and extreme temperatures: towards genetic engineering for stress tolerance
TL;DR: The present review summarizes the recent advances in elucidating stress-response mechanisms and their biotechnological applications and examines the following aspects: regulatory controls, metabolite engineering, ion transport, antioxidants and detoxification, late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) and heat-shock proteins.
