Discrimination of drought tolerance in a worldwide collection of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes based on selection indices

TL;DR: Eight genotypes from different origins were detected as more tolerant to drought stress suitable for use in safflower breeding programs in drought-affected areas, and the most tolerant and susceptible genotypes could be exploited to produce mapping populations for drought tolerance breeding programs.

Diversity for seedling vigor in wild barley (hordeum vulgare l. subsp. spontaneum) germplasm

TL;DR: Correlation analysis showed that the visual seedling score was a reliable method for estimating seedling vigor in wild barley.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought Stress in Lentil (Lens culinaris, Medik) and Approaches for Its Management

TL;DR: In this article , the agro-morphological, physiological, and biochemical effects of drought on lentil were highlighted, and the breeding and agronomic interventions to improve lentil performance in drought-prone environments were also discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of Agro-morphological Characters among Complete Panicle Emergence Mutants of Samba Mahsuri (BPT-5204)

TL;DR: The identified stabilized thirteen complete panicle emergence (CPE) mutants showed superior agro morphological characters, compared with wild type Samba Mahsuri (BPT-5204), and have the potential to be used in future breeding programs for getting productive and quality results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Case study: cost-effective image analysis method to study drought stress of soybean in early vegetative stage

TL;DR: This report demonstrates fast and reliable phenotyping methods to screen drought tolerance in soybeans using the green area of the canopy from the image sensor, which positively correlated with the number of nodes, which is the indicator of the yield components.

Introduction to quantitative genetics

TL;DR: The genetic constitution of a population: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and changes in gene frequency: migration mutation, changes of variance, and heritability are studied.

Human biochemical genetics

Grüneberg H
- 01 Jul 1960 - 
TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance

TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two transcription factors, DREB1 and DREB2, with an EREBP/AP2 DNA binding domain separate two cellular signal transduction pathways in drought- and low-temperature-responsive gene expression, respectively, in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants

TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.
