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:

Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management
Muhammad Farooq,Muhammad Farooq,Abdul Wahid,Nobuya Kobayashi,Daisuke Fujita,Shahzad M. A. Basra +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of drought stress on the growth, phenology, water and nutrient relations, photosynthesis, assimilate partitioning, and respiration in plants, and the mechanism of drought resistance in plants on a morphological, physiological and molecular basis are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant tolerance to high temperature in a changing environment: scientific fundamentals and production of heat stress-tolerant crops
Craita E. Bita,Tom Gerats +1 more
TL;DR: There is a differential effect of climate change both in terms of geographic location and the crops that will likely show the most extreme reductions in yield as a result of expected extreme fluctuations in temperature and global warming in general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inducing drought tolerance in plants: Recent advances
TL;DR: Rapid advance in knowledge on genomics and proteomics will certainly be beneficial to fine-tune the molecular breeding and transformation approaches so as to achieve a significant progress in crop improvement in future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals
TL;DR: The physiological basis of crop yield and its response to stresses is highlighted, with special emphasis on drought, and ways to improve the efficiency of crop breeding through a better physiological understanding by both conventional and molecular methods are discussed.

Raising yield potential of wheat. III. Optimizing partitioning to grain while maintaining lodging resistance
M. John Foulkes,Gustavo A. Slafer,William J. Davies,Pete Berry,Roger Sylvester-Bradley,Pierre Martre,Pierre Martre,Daniel F. Calderini,Simon Griffiths,Matthew P. Reynolds +9 more
TL;DR: Six complementary approaches are proposed, namely: optimizing developmental pattern to maximize spike fertility and grain number, optimizing spike growth to maximize grain number and dry matter harvest index, improving spike fertility through desensitizing floret abortion to environmental cues, and improving potential grain size and grain filling.

Seed yield and agronomic traits of old and modern soybean cultivars under irrigation and soil water-deficit
TL;DR: The results of this study show greater seed-yield increases with irrigation for Williams 82 and Clark 63 than for the older cultivars which were a function of a greater number of pods and increased vegetative biomass.

Evaluation of indices for identification of pearl millet cultivars adapted to stress and non-stress conditions
O.P. Yadav,S.K. Bhatnagar +1 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of methods to identify productive cultivars for stress and non-stress conditions indicated that DRI might be useful for identifying cultivars with high performance under stress particularly when days to flower differ considerably among test entries.

M. Torabi,K. Nazari +1 more
TL;DR: Cultivars M-70-4 and MV17 were resistant to all pathotypes as seedlings and showed good adult plant resistance.

Using multi-environment sugar beet variety trials to screen for drought tolerance
TL;DR: This approach of assessing MET data using the DSI as an environmental descriptor can be used by breeders to evaluate drought tolerance and yield stability in current breeding material.
