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:

Connecting the dots between computational tools to analyse soil-root water relations
Sixtine Passot,Valentin Couvreur,Félicien Meunier,Xavier Draye,Mathieu Javaux,Daniel Leitner,Loïc Pagès,Andrea Schnepf,Jan Vanderborght,Guillaume Lobet +9 more
TL;DR: This article presents how different pieces of work can be further developed by connecting them to analyse soil-root-water relations in a comprehensive and structured network and informs the reader about existing tools and helps them understand how their data might fit within the network.

Evaluation of the tolerance of Thai indigenous upland rice germplasm to early drought stress using multiple selection criteria
Kittichai Narenoot,Tidarat Monkham,Sompong Chankaew,Patcharin Songsri,Wattana Pattanagul,Jirawat Sanitchon +5 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate the suitability of the drought tolerance index (DTI) as the selection criteria for early drought tolerance in a breeding programme, and the upland rice germplasm accessions KKU-ULR011, KkU-ulR012, KK U- ULR125, K KU-UR199 and KKKU -ULR292 were identified as having high levels of stability for droughtolerance in both the 2011 and 2012 experiments.

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.
