Abstract:
... Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important grain legumes in the world, but its current and future production is threatened due to the increased incidence of drought and heat stress. To address this challenge, an integrated crop improvement strategy encompassing breeding, genomics, physiology and agronomy is required. Here, we review the physiological traits known to confer drought ...

Abstract:
... Although the effect of local adaptation is well documented in evolutionary biology, few studies have quantified the impact of local adaptation in plant breeding. Decentralized plant breeding programs have the potential to harness local adaptation for crop improvement, but the effectiveness of such models is understudied. We quantified the ability of a decentralized participatory plant breeding pro ...

Abstract:
... Drought stress is a global constraint for crop production, and improving crop tolerance to drought is of critical importance. Because transpiration cools a crop canopy, a cool canopy under drought indicates a genotype still has access to soil moisture. Because measurements of canopy temperature may be increased in scale in field environments, it is particularly attractive for large-scale, phenotyp ...

Abstract:
... The presence or absence of the staygreen trait was screened for 3 consecutive years in 963 wheat lines from various sources, including Indian and CIMMYT germplasm. Staygreen was assessed at the late dough stage by visual scoring (0–9 scale) and the leaf area under greenness (LAUG) measurement. Around 5.5 % of the lines were staygreen, 10.5 % were moderately staygreen, and the remaining lines showe ...

Abstract:
... A wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with yield, yield components, and canopy temperature depression (CTD) under field conditions. The RIL population, consisting of 118 lines derived from a cross between the stress tolerant cultivar 'Halberd' and heat stress sensitive cultivar 'Karl92', was grown under ...

Abstract:
... Pseudocercospora macadamiae Beilharz, Mayers and Pascoe infects macadamia fruit via stomata causing husk spot disease. Information on the variability of fruit stomatal abundance, its association with diseased fruit pericarps (sticktights) that are retained in the tree canopy, and its influence on the husk spot intensity (incidence, severity and lesion number) among macadamia genotypes is lacking. ...

Abstract:
... Radiant frost is a major abiotic stress, and one of the principal limiting factors for agricultural production worldwide, including Australia. Legumes, including field pea, faba bean, lentil and chickpea, are very sensitive to chilling and freezing temperatures, particularly at the flowering, early pod formation and seed filling stages. Radiant frost events occur when plants and soil absorb the su ...

Abstract:
... Spot blotch, caused by Cochliobolus sativus (Ito and Kurib.) Drechsler ex Dastur, and heat stress are two important stresses of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) causing substantial yield reduction in the warm areas of South Asia. These two stresses put pressure on at least 25 million hectares of wheat areas worldwide. This study was conducted to examine variation in physiological traits and its ...

Abstract:
... We reported earlier that somaclonal variant HS (HS), regenerated from Prunus avium `Hedelfinger' (H) leaf explants, showed reduced apical dominance both in vitro and in vivo. In this report we found that the somaclone HS, showed reduced vegetative vigour as determined by trunk circumference and tree height nevertheless natural architecture of the tree was preserved. HS canopy was less crowded as t ...
