Plants in their natural habitats adapt to drought stress in the environment through a variety of mechanisms, ranging from transient responses to low soil moisture to major survival mechanisms of escape by early flowering in absence of seasonal rainfall. However, crop plants selected by humans to yield products such as…

'Jemanesh Haile' 'Amidou N’Diaye'] Wheat production and productivity are challenged by recurrent droughts associated with climate change globally. Drought and heat stress resilient cultivars can alleviate yield loss in marginal production agro-ecologies. The ability of some crop genotypes to thrive and yield in drought…

It is commonly known that drought stress is a major constraint limiting crop production. Drought stress and associated drought tolerance mechanisms are therefore under intense investigation with the view to future production of drought tolerant crops. With an ever-growing population and variable climate, novel…

'Ruilian Jing' 'Prasanta K. Subudhi'] Drought has become a major threat to food security, because it affects crop growth and development. Drought tolerance is an important quantitative trait, which is regulated by hundreds of genes in crop plants. In recent decades, scientists have made considerable progress to uncover…

Crop production worldwide is increasingly affected by drought stress. Although drought tolerance of a plant may be achieved through morphological, structural, physiological, cellular, and molecular adaptations, most studies remain limited to quantifying the effect of drought on biomass yield. Using a high-throughput…

'Chidinma Lois Nwoko' 'Melvin J. Oliver' 'Luis Herrera-Estrella'] Climate change affects the agricultural sector by modifying precipitation patterns, increasing extreme weather events, and geographically shifting agriculturally viable areas. These climate alterations substantially impact plant resilience to abiotic…

Drought stress poses a significant threat to agricultural productivity, particularly in regions with limited water availability. This study delves into the drought response in a multiparental interspecific tomato MAGIC population (ToMAGIC), developed by intercrossing Solanum pimpinellifolium (SP) and S. lycopersicum…

Plant adaptation to drought facilitates major ecological transitions, and is likely to play a vital role under looming climate change. Mycorrhizas can influence the physiological capacity of plants to tolerate drought. Here, I show how mycorrhizal strategy and drought adaptation shape one another throughout the course…

Accessions are prospective sources of genetic variability, as well as valuable genetic resources to deal with present and future crop breeding difficulties. The assessment of population structure and genetic diversity of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) that have been distributed in Iraqi Kurdistan region critical in…

Within the current climate context, freshwater resources have become scarce. Agriculture, especially in rain-fed conditions, should deal with the need for increasing yields to contribute to food security under limiting water availability. Exploring underutilized crops such as Chenopodium quinoa (quinoa) has become a…

Whether mechanisms of drought adaptation tend to evolve together, evolve independently, and/or evolve constrained by genetic architecture is incompletely resolved, particularly for water-relations traits besides gas exchange. We addressed this question in two subspecies of Clarkia xantiana (Onagraceae), California…

Climate change is expected to increase the level of drought stress experienced by many plant populations, yet the spatial distribution of changes in dryness remains highly uncertain. Species can, to some extent, adapt to climate uncertainty through evolving increased trait plasticity. Biodiversity conservation could…

Understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms of how plants respond to drought is paramount to breeding more drought resistant crops. Certain mutations or allelic variations result in plants with altered water-use requirements. To correctly identify genetic differences which confer a drought phenotype…

Environmental stresses, such as drought and heat, can cause substantial yield loss in agriculture. As such, hybrid crops that are tolerant to drought and heat stress would produce more consistent yields compared to the hybrids that are not tolerant to these stresses. In the 2019 Syngenta Crop Challenge, Syngenta…

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is a method to obtain clean water in remote or underdeveloped regions including, but not limited to, those with an arid or desert climate. For passive, adsorbent-based AWH, an adsorbent bed is employed to capture water from cold, humid air at nighttime, while during the daytime the…
