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:

Adaptation of Potato to Water Shortage: Irrigation Management and Enhancement of Tolerance to Drought and Salinity
TL;DR: In this article, different approaches to cope with water stress are presented, such as altering morphological, physiological and genetic characteristics of potato and the use of biotechnology, which may provide useful candidates for deployment against stress.

Alteration in expression of hormone-related genes in wild emmer wheat roots associated with drought adaptation mechanisms.
Tamar Krugman,Zvi Peleg,Zvi Peleg,Lydia Quansah,Véronique Chagué,Abraham B. Korol,Eviatar Nevo,Yehoshua Saranga,Aaron Fait,Boulos Chalhoub,Tzion Fahima +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles to unravel drought adaptation mechanisms in wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides), the progenitor of cultivated wheat, by comparing the response to drought stress in roots of genotypes contrasting in drought tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic association of stomatal traits and yield in wheat grown in low rainfall environments.
Fahimeh Shahinnia,Fahimeh Shahinnia,Julien Le Roy,Julien Le Roy,Benjamin Laborde,Benjamin Laborde,Beata Sznajder,Priyanka Kalambettu,Saba Mahjourimajd,Joanne Tilbrook,Delphine Fleury +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that stomatal traits could be an underlying mechanism increasing yield at specific loci and used as a proxy to track a target QTL in recombinant lines and identify candidate genes to accelerate positional cloning of yield Q TL in wheat under drought.

Characterising the crop environment – nature, significance and applications
TL;DR: This chapter reviews different facets of environment characterization, including how to describe the target population of environments (TPE), and how to identify relevant environment classes where genotypes are expected to perform similarly.

Agricultural Adaptation to a Changing Climate: Economic and Environmental Implications Vary by U.S. Region
Scott A. Malcolm,Elizabeth P. Marshall,Marcel P. Aillery,Paul W. Heisey,Michael J. Livingston,Kelly A. Day-Rubenstein +5 more
TL;DR: This paper found that farmers have considerable flexibility to adapt to changes in local weather, resource conditions, and price signals by adjusting crops, rotations, and production practices, which can partially mitigate the impacts of climate change on national agricultural markets.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

The analysis of adaptation in a plant-breeding programme
K.W. Finlay,G.N. Wilkinson +1 more
TL;DR: Varieties from particular geographic regions of the world showed a similarity in type of adaptation, which provides a useful basis for plant introduction and breeding.
