Evaluating physiological responses of plants to salinity stress (2016, methodology): “Carbon isotope discrimination has been used for analysis of TUE (Farquhar et al., 1982), and it has been used successfully to improve the water use efficiency of wheat (Farquhar et al., 1982; Condon et al., 2004).”
Subordinate plant species enhance community resistance against drought in semi‐natural grasslands (2013, background): “The measurement of d13C values in plant leaves can thus provide insight in the drought resistance of plants and help identifying the most resistant species in the community (Condon et al. 2004).”
Physiological interventions in breeding for adaptation to abiotic stress (2007, background): “While a limited amount of research has been applied to crop improvement (Bolaños and Edmeades 1996; Condon et al. 2004; Rebetzke et al. 2002; Richards et al. 2002; Trethowan and Reynolds 2006), much has yet to be applied (Araus et al.”
Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management (2011, positive): “Condon et al. (2004) described three key processes in breeding to improve water-use e ﬃ ciency in crop plants.”
Carbon isotopes and water use efficiency: sense and sensitivity (2008, background): “Measurements of D have been used to select C3 crops with higher Wt at the leaf level, but lower D may not always indicate higher Wt or translate into higher Wp at the whole plant level (Condon et al. 2004).”
Improving water use efficiency in grapevines: potential physiological targets for biotechnological improvement. (2010, background): “In species other than grapevines, differences between genotypes in AN/gs and WUE have been reported to have a genetic basis (Martin et al. 1989, Masle et al. 2005), and breeding for high WUE has been and continues to be a main objective for many crops (Condon et al. 2004).”
Improved plant nitrogen nutrition contributes to higher water use efficiency in tomatoes under alternate partial root-zone irrigation (2010, background): “The reduction inCi:Camay be due to either lower gs or greater An, or to both factors simultaneously ( Condon et al. 2004 ).”
Bridging the Rice Yield Gaps under Drought: QTLs, Genes, and their Use in Breeding Programs (2017, neutral): “and water-use efficiency in wheat [92].”
Some critical issues in environmental physiology of grapevines: future challenges and current limitations (2010, background): “In contrast to gas-exchange techniques that provide measurements of photosynthesis rates at a single point in time, leaf carbon isotope signature (dC) integrates the ratio of intercellular (Ci) to atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) for longer periods of time (Condon et al. 2004).”
Water use efficiency in C3 cereals under Mediterranean conditions: a review of physiological aspects (2007, background): “winter rainfall), by contrast, improved WUE did not confer advantage in yield (Condon et al. 2004).”
Changes in the yield and associated photosynthetic traits of dry-land winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) from the 1940s to the 2010s in Shaanxi Province of China (2014, background): “However, rapid leaf area growth is beneficial trait in benign environments (Condon et al., 2004), hereas the same strategy could be disadvantageous in waterimited environments (Parry et al.”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and plant water use (2010, background): “Water use efficiency (WUE) refers to carbon gained per unit waterlost.Thiscanbecalculatedatastandlevel,atawhole-plant level or at the leaf level and over time scales ranging from instantaneous (a few minutes) to a season (Sinclair et al. 1984; Condon et al. 2004 ).”
