Breeding for Drought Tolerance in Cereals: an Overview
Drought is among the most serious abiotic stresses in many parts of the world where cereal crops are essential human food source. Breeding cereals for such stress tolerance is strongly challenging the breeders’ efforts where difficulties are compounded by the complexity of crop yield on the genetic and physiological bases. For cereal plants, drought tends to develop slowly under field condition...
متن کاملDrought-resistant cereals: impact on water sustainability and nutritional quality.
This review uses production and climate data to examine global and local production trends that can be related to events such as drought. UK grain quality data is also available and provides an overview of trends in protein content. Literature surveys show a consistent reduction in grain size due to the effects of temperature and/or drought. A review of gene expression studies showed that most ...
متن کاملBreeding for high grain Fe and Zn levels in cereals
Micronutrients are known to play an important role in the metabolism and physiological activities of the human body. Unfortunately, over three billion people in the world are malnourished. The development of crops with enhanced mineral concentration is one of the most sustainable and cost effective approaches for alleviating micronutrient malnutrition. This review focuses on the progress made i...
متن کاملEvolutionary Plant Breeding in Cereals—Into a New Era
In evolutionary plant breeding, crop populations with a high level of genetic diversity are subjected to the forces of natural selection. In a cycle of sowing and re-sowing seed from the plant population year after year, those plants favored under prevailing growing conditions are expected to contribute more seed to the next generation than plants with lower fitness. Thus, evolving crop populat...
متن کاملSimple, Rapid And Cost Effective Screening Method For Drought Resistant Breeding In Pearl Millet
Pearl millet is one of the most important cereals grown in drought-prone areas and is the staple grain for million of people in West Africa and India. Breeding for drought-prone environments is constrained by lack of suitable selection indices of drought stress resistance. The present study is conducted to determine the reliability of in vitro screening method for initiating drought breeding pr...
