Book ChapterDOI
A critical evaluation of traits for improving crop yields in water-limited environments.
M.M. Ludlow,R.C. Muchow +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter describes the components of yield and the determinants of survival against which the proposed and demonstrated contributions by traits are critically assessed and presents simulation models, which are very powerful tools for critically assessing the value of putative traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding crop varieties for stress environments
Abraham Blum,Wayne R. Jordan +1 more
TL;DR: Crop resistance to various environmental stresses is being improved by traditional and costly breeding methods that involve the stability of yield performance over different environments as a major criterion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glaucousness in Wheat: Its Development and Effect on Water-use Efficiency, Gas Exchange and Photosynthetic Tissue Temperatures*
TL;DR: It is documents that glaucousness can be a yield positive character under water-limited conditions, primarily through its effect on wateruse efficiency, on an extended period of transpiration and on the timing of the deposition of wax.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving drought resistance in small-grained cereals : A case study, progress and prospects
TL;DR: Incorporating specific drought resistance traits in breeding programmes should facilitate more rapid improvement in the drought resistance of wheat and other small-grained cereals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the efficiency of water use by plant breeding and molecular biology
TL;DR: The most likely avenues for success are discussed in this paper, where the authors discuss the most likely pathways for success in water-use efficiency improvement in all major food crops, including modification of phenology to better suit the environment and manipulation of the crop canopy.
