Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting
in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). VPD has been identified as an …

Geneticists and breeders are positioned to breed plants with root traits that improve
productivity under drought. However, a better understanding of root functional traits and how …

Increasing the efficiency of on-farm water use requires wise decisions on the irrigation
system, the irrigation strategy and the method to schedule irrigation, among other factors …

Biochar is an amendment that can be used for enhancing soil water storage which may
increase crop productivity. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of biochar …

Introduction Biochar amendment provides multiple benefits in enhancing crop productivity
and soil nutrient availability. However, whether biochar addition affects root morphology and …

Reduced stomatal conductance (gs) during soil drought in angiosperms may result from
effects of leaf turgor on stomata and/or factors that do not directly depend on leaf turgor …

The hypothesis that aquaporins and carbonic anhydrase (CA) are involved in the regulation
of stomatal (gs) and mesophyll (gm) conductance to CO2 was tested in a short-term water …

Stress signalling and regulatory networks controlling expression of target genes are the
basis of plant response to drought. Roots are the first organs exposed to water deficiency in …
