Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Drought Stress on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Different Maize Varieties
TL;DR: The results showed that the drought resistances of Zhengdan958 was higher than that of Liansheng15 by having more powerful root system and higher osmotic adjustment ability.
Book ChapterDOI
Drought stress: molecular genetics and genomics approaches
TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the current state of knowledge of the molecular events that take place when a plant is under drought stress, starting with the mechanisms by which the plant perceives drought and the intracellular signalling pathways that are engaged in initiating the drought response.
Book ChapterDOI
Advances in mechanisms of drought tolerance in crops, with emphasis on barley
TL;DR: This chapter provides the latest state-of-the-art information on drought-coping mechanisms in barley, including molecular basis of crop response in moisture-limited environments, and highlights research insights, existing gaps, and future research directions regarding drought tolerance in barley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precise Editing of the OsPYL9 Gene by RNA-Guided Cas9 Nuclease Confers Enhanced Drought Tolerance and Grain Yield in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Regulating Circadian Rhythm and Abiotic Stress Responsive Proteins.
TL;DR: Results showed that CRISPR/Cas9-generated OsPYL9 mutants have potential to improve both drought tolerance and the yield of rice, and global proteome analysis provides new potential biomarkers and understandings of the molecular mechanism of rice drought tolerance.

Molecular approaches for designing heat tolerant wheat
Sundeep Kumar,Prerna Kumari,Uttam Kumar,Monendra Grover,Amit Kumar Singh,Rakesh Singh,R. S. Sengar +6 more
TL;DR: Understanding of biochemical and molecular basis of thermo-tolerance in combination with genetic approaches like identification and mapping of heat tolerant QTLs will not only assist conventional breeders to develop heat tolerant cultivars but also help molecular biologists to clone and characterize genes associated with heat tolerance, which could be used in genetically modified heat tolerant plants.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Qiang Liu,Mie Kasuga,Yoh Sakuma,Hiroshi Abe,Setsuko Miura,Kazuko Yamaguchi-Shinozaki,Kazuo Shinozaki +6 more
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.
