Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Drought Tolerance in Tef [Eragrostis Tef (Zucc.) Trotter] Genotypes Using Drought Tolerance Indices
TL;DR: The study showed that selection based on indices which exhibited significant and positive coordination with Ys and Yp are more reliable parameters for breeders to use in the tef improvement program.

Na compound fertiliser improves growth performance, drought resistance, and water-saving efficiency of the succulent xerophyte Haloxylon ammodendron in the Alxa Desert region of China
TL;DR: NaCF could be beneficial if widely applied in eco-restoration of the degraded vegetations in desert regions of China and resulted in water saving potentials of 50 and 33% respectively.

Desiccation-tolerant rhizobacteria: a possible approach for managing agricultural water stress
TL;DR: In this article, the significance of bacterial mediated drought tolerance in agricultural crops for agricultural water stress management in a sustainable way is discussed, where the authors try to show the significance and significance of the bacterial mediated DMT in agricultural crop for agricultural Water stress management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial suppression of l-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase causes significant reduction in leaf water loss through decreasing stomatal aperture size in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that partial suppression of GLDH activity confers significant reduction in leaf water loss through decreasing stomatal aperture size in Arabidopsis, and their implications on further study ofGLDH function in higher plants are discussed.

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.
Journal Article
Human biochemical genetics
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
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
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.
