Effect of drought and salinity on carbon isotope discrimination in wheat cultivars (2005, methodology): “Foliar D values have been used as an integrated measure of the response of photosynthetic gas exchange to environmental variables such as water availability [12– 14], light [15], humidity [16] and salinity [17–20].”
Height reduction and agronomic performance for selected gibberellin-responsive dwarfing genes in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2012, background): “Improved canopy management can reduce soil water loss but as much as 50% of in-crop rainfall can still be lost in well-managed crops (Condon et al., 2002).”
Traits and selection strategies to improve root systems and water uptake in water-limited wheat crops. (2012, background): “However, as for CT above, the use of grain (12)C/(13)C discrimination relies on good understanding of tested populations and assumes no confounding of genotypic differences in anthesis biomass, pre-anthesis water use, and remobilization of stem carbohydrates (Condon et al., 2002; Rebetzke et al., 20”
Small temporal differences in water uptake among varieties of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) are critical for grain yield under terminal drought (2013, background): “In wheat, “water conservative” lines with lowΔ13C had an advantage when they were grown on stored soil moisture or in areas with limited rainfall (Condon and Richards 1993; Condon et al. 2002, 2004; Rebetzke et al. 2002).”
Variation in transpiration efficiency and its related traits in a groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) mapping population (2007, background): “In fact, WUE improvement has shown some success as a breeding objective in other crops like wheat (Condon et al., 2002; Rebetzke et al., 2002).”
Breeding for high water-use efficiency. (2004, methodology): “Yet for a large number of studies involving collections of cereal genotypes grown in rain-fed and irrigated environments in Australia (Condon et al., 1987, 1993, 2002; Condon and Richards, 1993; Condon and Hall, 1997), the Mediterranean region (Voltas et al., 1999; Merah et al., 2001; Royo et al.,…”
Impact of subsoil water use on wheat yield (2007, background): “In a similar study reported by Condon and Richards (1993) and Condon et al. (2002), post-anthesis transpiration efficiency for grain averaged for 2 wheat varieties was 77 kg/ha.mm at Condobolin (1990) and 73 kg/ha.mm at Wagga Wagga (1989).”
