A theoretical and empirical framework for measuring minimum conductance, an understudied plant drought trait
In light of increased drought frequency and intensity due to climate change, knowledge of how plant drought tolerance is affected is important for understanding plant vulnerability to these changes. Minimum conductance (gmin) describes the residual rate of water loss by a plant through its leaves …

The role of hydraulic strategies in understanding the response of fynbos to drought
… the response of diverse communities to drought. This framework distinguishes species that respond to dehydration by rapidly decreasing stomatal conductance (gs) (isohydric), thereby maintaining relatively constant midday minimum water potential, from those that maintain relatively high …

The role of the BHLH038 transcription factor in the regulation of osmotic and drought stress responses in Arabidopsis thaliana
… stress affecting agriculture worldwide is drought. In order to ensure food supply for the expanding world population two critical tasks must be undertaken; maintenance of crop yield as well as the increase of yield potential. Plants have built up a complex stress response system in order to …

SNP ANALYSIS FOR DROUGHT-RELATED CANDIDATE GENES IN A GERMPLASM COLLECTION AND A TILLING POPULATION OF ITALIAN RICE
… alleles with added value for the improvement of drought resistance in Italian rice. The EMS-induced genetic variability in drought-related candidate genes was then explored in a TILLING population developed in the Italian rice variety Volano. The Volano TILLING platform was validated through the …

Plant root development and hormone signalling during drought stress
The plant root system is crucial for plant survival, growth and development, and it plays an important role in plant resistance to drought stress. Drought is one of the primary factors that restrict plant growth and yield, and its threat to crop yields will increase along with the growing food …
