TL;DR
Principal component analysis identified catalase, proline, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, root length and shoot dry weight as key traits influencing drought tolerance, explaining 80.2% of the total variation.
Background: Drought is a major abiotic stress severely affecting sugarcane production in India, causing yield reductions of up to 49%. To address the lack of rapid screening methods at an early stage, present study evaluated 40 sugarcane genotypes for drought stress tolerance using a hydroponic platform. The seedlings...
Drought is a major abiotic stress that severely limits cotton productivity by reducing growth, yield, and fiber quality. Understanding genotype-specific responses to reproductive-stage drought is essential for identifying reliable selection traits and improving drought resilience in cotton breeding programs. This s...
Allium polyrhizum is an important native species in arid and semi-arid regions. This study investigated the responses of A. polyrhizum to drought stress and screened drought-resistant germplasms to provide a basis for the selection of high-quality germplasm resources for degraded grassland restoration. Five A. polyrhiz...
Climate change exacerbates agricultural water scarcity, necessitating the development of drought-tolerant crop varieties. This study evaluates 12 eggplant lines from a MAGIC (Multi-parent Advanced Generation Intercross) population, previously selected for contrasting responses to water deficit during the vegetative sta...
Abstract The objective of this work was to characterize the physiological and biochemical responses related to drought tolerance in rumberry (Myrciaria floribunda) plants. The experiment was carried out on plants aged about 2.5 years, which were grown in a greenhouse and subjected to two water conditions, as follows: w...
