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:

Arbuscular mycorrhiza effects on plant performance under osmotic stress.
Christian Santander,Ricardo Aroca,Juan Manuel Ruiz-Lozano,Jorge Olave,Paula Cartes,Fernando Borie,Pablo Cornejo +6 more
TL;DR: The principal direct and indirect mechanisms by which AM modify plant responses to osmotic stress are described, highlighting the role of AM in photosynthetic activity, water use efficiency, osmoprotectant production, antioxidant activities, and gene expression.

Foliar pathogenesis and plant water relations: a review
TL;DR: The effects of foliar pathogens on plant water relations and the consequences for WUE are reviewed and a number of toxins produced by bacteria and higher fungi have been identified that impair stomatal function.

Measles and rubella elimination in the WHO Region for Europe: progress and challenges
Patrick O'Connor,Dragan Jankovic,M Muscat,M. Ben-Mamou,Susan E. Reef,Mark J. Papania,Simarjit Singh,T. Kaloumenos,Robb Butler,Siddhartha Sankar Datta +9 more
TL;DR: The European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC) conclusion in 2016 that 70% and 66% of the 53 Member States in the Region had interrupted the endemic transmission of measles and rubella, respectively, by 2015 is a testament to this progress.

Physiological Traits Associated with Wheat Yield Potential and Performance under Water-Stress in a Mediterranean Environment.
Alejandro del Pozo,Alejandra Yáñez,Alejandra Yáñez,Iván Matus,Gerardo Tapia,Dalma Castillo,Laura Sánchez-Jardón,José Luis Araus +7 more
TL;DR: The genotypic variability of leaf chlorophyll, stem water-soluble carbohydrate content and carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C), and their relationship with grain yield (GY), under contrasting water conditions in a Mediterranean environment is examined.

Proteomics of stress responses in wheat and barley—search for potential protein markers of stress tolerance
TL;DR: In this article, the potential role of proteins in the differential stress response of wheat, barley, and related species genotypes under various stress conditions is discussed and potential future roles of the results of proteomic studies in practical applications such as breeding for an enhanced stress tolerance and the possibilities to test and use protein markers in the breeding are suggested.

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.
