Drought is one of the most serious production constraint for world agriculture and is
projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. Inter-disciplinary scientists have been …

Many of the world's rice-growing regions lack adequate irrigation facilities, and drought
frequently reduces yield. This paper reviews drought-resistance traits in rice and their …

To understand the underlying mechanism for plasticity in root to shoot ratio (R/S) in
response to drought stress, two rice cultivars, Zhenshan97 (drought susceptible) and …

Water deficit is a serious environmental stress and the major constraint to rice productivity.
Losses in rice yield due to water shortage probably exceed losses from all other causes …

Drought is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses across the world which is seriously
hampering the productivity of agricultural crops. Maize is among the leading cereal crops in …

Drought is a major threat to agricultural production and drought tolerance is a prime target
for molecular approaches to crop improvement. To achieve meaningful results, these …

Due to long-term trends in global climate change and the expansion of maize production in
drought-prone regions, the development of drought-tolerant maize varieties is of high …

Identification of genes for quantitative traits is difficult using any single approach due to
complex inheritance of the traits and limited resolving power of the individual techniques …

The unpredictability of drought patterns and the inherent complexity of the physiological
responses involved have made it difficult to characterize component traits required for …

Drought is an important environmental constraint limiting the productivity of many crops
worldwide. Seedling tolerance to drought is crucial for crop growth and development …
