Phenotyping bananas for drought resistance
Drought has emerged as one of the major constraints in banana production. Its effects are pronounced substantially in the tropics and sub-tropics of the world due to climate change. Bananas are quite sensitive to drought; however, genotypes with "B" genome are more tolerant to abiotic stresses than those solely based on "A" genome. In particular, bananas with "ABB" genomes are more tolerant to ...
متن کاملPhenotyping for drought adaptation in wheat using physiological traits
Wheat (Triticum spp) is one of the first domesticated food crops. It represents the first source of calories (after rice) and an important source of proteins in developing countries. As a result of the Green Revolution, wheat yield sharply increased due to the use of improved varieties, irrigation, pesticides, and fertilizers. The rate of increase in world wheat production, however, slowed afte...
متن کاملIntegration of phenotyping and genetic platforms for a better understanding of wheat performance under drought.
Identifying markers for physiological traits of proven value in breeding, especially ones that are consistent across environments with different patterns of stress, strengthens the toolkit to increase confidence in the value and delivery from physiological breeding. To identify markers relevant to drought adaptation, this review will highlight the importance of development and implementation of...
متن کاملPhenotyping Cowpeas for Adaptation to Drought
Methods for phenotyping cowpeas for adaptation to drought are reviewed. Key factors involve achieving optimal time of flowering and cycle length, and appropriate morphology for different types of cultivars as they relate to their utilization for dry grain, hay, and fresh pea production. Strong resistance to vegetative-stage drought is available and should be incorporated. The extreme ability of...
متن کاملPhenotyping common beans for adaptation to drought
Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) originated in the New World and are the grain legume of greatest production for direct human consumption. Common bean production is subject to frequent droughts in highland Mexico, in the Pacific coast of Central America, in northeast Brazil, and in eastern and southern Africa from Ethiopia to South Africa. This article reviews efforts to improve common bean...
