The Photosynthetic Role of Ears in C3 Cereals: Metabolism, Water Use Efficiency and Contribution to Grain Yield (2007, background): “In fact, “high-spike photosynthesis” has been suggested to be an important trait in the conceptual model (i.e., ideotype) for drought tolerance in wheat (Reynolds et al., 2005).”
Impacts of breeding on international collaborative wheat improvement (2006, background): “Wheat germplasm derived from crosses with synthetic hexaploids show improved performance under drought (Trethowan et al. 2005), and field studies have shown that synthetic derived wheat lines have improved ability to extract water at intermediate (30–90 cm) rooting depths (Reynolds et al. 2005b).”
Breeding wheat for drought tolerance: Progress and technologies (2016, background): “Phenotyping wheat for drought tolerance using phenotypic traits Knowledge of phenotypic traits contributing to improved yields under stress is fundamental to the understanding of the complex physiological and genetic mechanisms of wheat adaptability (Reynolds et al. 2005).”
Smart Engineering of Genetic Resources for Enhanced Salinity Tolerance in Crop Plants (2016, background): “Accordingly, salinity tolerance of the “re-synthesized” wheat was superior to that of their durum parents (Gorham, 1990; Schachtman et al., 1991; Reynolds et al., 2005).”
Prospects for crop production under drought: research priorities and future directions (2005, background): “Plant breeding has the potential to deliver HSYD but requires the identification of key traits and their incorporation into high-yielding varieties using conventional or biotechnological tools (Slafer, 2003; Reynolds et al., 2005a).”
Physiological interventions in breeding for adaptation to abiotic stress (2007, methodology): “Canopy temperature showed genetic effects associated with soil moisture extraction (Reynolds et al. 2005; submitted) and cooler leaves, and may also be associated with increased photo-protection.”
Causes of decreased photosynthetic rate and metabolic capacity in water-deficient leaf cells: a critical evaluation of mechanisms and integration of processes. (2009, background): “It is also extremely doubtful if one model of photosynthesis and metabolism will suit all plant environment combinations (Reynolds et al., 2005).”
Drought Stress in Wheat during Flowering and Grain-filling Periods (2014, background): “In the recent past, wide crossing contributed to drought adaptation of wheat germplasm (MujeebKazi et al., 1998; Reynolds et al., 2005b).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “Without theoretical advances and improved methods of transformation (to improve insertion of genes into specific sites in the genome), GM may have few advantages over current breeding methods addressing key physiological process (Reynolds et al., 2005) and using molecular information (Tuberosa et al”
Global synthesis of drought effects on cereal, legume, tuber and root crops production: A review (2017, background): “…roots (i.e., dimorphic root system) and promising association with mycorrhiza have also been proposed to be beneficial during drought particularly in the dryland, allowing re-distribution of soil moisture by roots and access to bound water previously unavailable to crops (Reynolds et al., 2005).”
