Water-Conservation Traits to Increase Crop Yields in Water-deficit Environments

Part of the SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science Book Series

Introduction

Sinclair, Thomas R.

Pages: 1 –3

[Water deficits are the major limitation in increasing crop yields in many regions of the world. Various plant traits that might result in yield increases in water-limited environments have been vigorously discussed for decades. Only recently, however, have two specific traits to achieve...

Early Partial Stomata Closure with Soil Drying

Sinclair, Thomas R.

Pages: 5 –9

[The soil volumetric water content at which partial stomatal closure is initiated with soil drying is a critical variable in comparing the sensitivity of plants to water-deficit conditions. Those plants that initiate stomatal closure at higher soil water contents result in soil water...
Available

Limited-Transpiration Rate Under Elevated Atmospheric Vapor Pressure Deficit

Sinclair, Thomas R.

Pages: 11 –16

[The driving force of transpiration rate is the gradient in vapor pressure between the dry atmosphere and the wet interior of leaves, commonly referred to as the vapor pressure deficit (VPD). The other key variable is the resistance to vapor diffusion from the leaves attributed to the aperture of...

Soybean

Sinclair, Thomas R.

Pages: 17 –26

[Soybean (Glycine max (Merr.) L) is not often irrigated (<5% of the land area in the major producing countries), so the crop is vulnerable to variations in rainfall. Even short periods of soil water deficit can adversely affect soybean yields, especially because of the high sensitivity of its...
Available

Peanut

Devi, M. Jyostna; Shekoofa, Avat

Pages: 27 –33

[Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important grain legume whose yield is often limited by soil water deficits because it is commonly grown in regions with intermittent rainfall and on sandy soils with low water-holding capacity. Considerable genetic variation within the peanut germplasm has been...
Available

Chickpea

Sivasakthi, Kaliamoorthy; Zaman-Allah, Mainassara; Tharanya, Murugesan; Kholová, Jana; Thirunalasundari, Thiyagarajan; Vadez, Vincent

Pages: 35 –45

[Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is generally grown on residual soil moisture in the arid and semiarid regions of the world. Terminal drought is one of the major constraints limiting chickpea productivity, so soil water conservation to support late-season physiological activity can be very...
Available

Lentil

Ghanem, Michel Edmond; Marrou, Hélène; Guiguitant, Julie; ez-zahra Kibbou, Fatima

Pages: 47 –53

[Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is an important cool season legume grown in Mediterranean and semiarid climates. The crop often faces terminal drought stress during the reproductive phase as a consequence of diminishing rainfall or plant available water and rising temperatures. Studies are now...
Available

Maize

Shekoofa, Avat; Choudhary, Sunita

Pages: 55 –63

[Maize (Zea mays L.) yield is often restricted by low soil water availability, particularly late in the growing season during seed fill. Large genetic variation has been identified among maize hybrids in stomata closure both with early soil drying and elevated vapor pressure deficit. Little...
Available

Sorghum

Choudhary, Sunita; Kholová, Jana

Pages: 65 –71

[Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) production systems encompass predominantly semiarid tropical regions of South Asia and Africa. Although sorghum is generally considered to be resilient when subjected to abiotic stresses, improved use of available soil water has the potential to increase yields....
Available

Pearl Millet

Tharanya, Murugesan; Kholová, Jana; Sivasakthi, Kaliamoorthy; Thirunalasundari, Thiyagarajan; Vadez, Vincent

Pages: 73 –83

[Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. R. Br.) is a well-adapted crop to dry conditions, and it is grown in arid and semiarid regions of Africa and Asia. Thus far, only a limited number of pearl millet genotypes have been studied in the expression of early stomatal closure with both soil drying and...
