Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “In general, varieties with a lower brightness temperature are preferred, as it is assumed that these are more successful in avoiding drought stress (Araus et al., 2003).”
Prospects for crop production under drought: research priorities and future directions (2005, methodology): “…criteria have greatly improved our understanding of physiological processes but with few exceptions (e.g. carbon isotope discrimination) thus far contributed little to crop improvement (Araus et al., 2003; Flexas et al., 2004a,b; Forster et al., 2004; Lefi et al., 2004a,b; Slafer et al., 2005).”
Host Response to Osmotic Stresses: Stomatal Behaviour and Water Use Efficiency of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Plants (2010, background): “These difficulties will be particularly pronounced in currently semi-arid agricultural zones and/or under conditions of irrigation that often exacerbate soil salinization (Araus et al. 2003; Denby and Gehring 2005).”
Recent molecular advances to combat abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants (2011, methodology): “In physiological terms, however, WUE is defined as the ratio between the rate of carbon fixed and the rate of water transpired.”
Traits and selection strategies to improve root systems and water uptake in water-limited wheat crops. (2012, background): “The isotopic signature of carbon in the grain may also be a valuable indicator of differences in access to water by mature root systems (Araus et al., 2003).”
Drought Stress in Wheat during Flowering and Grain-filling Periods (2014, background): “Further increases in wheat production depend on higher yields rather than an increase in cropping area (Araus et al., 2003).”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “However, while the former may offer a significant ecological advantage by preventing plant death, its role in agriculture and breeding for higher yields is irrelevant or even negative, thereby limiting potential yield (Araus et al., 2003a).”
