Improving drought tolerance in maize: a view from industry (2004, background): “Modern stress-tolerant temperate hybrids show less increase in ASI relative to older hybrids (Bruce et al., 2001), though when ASI is compared to grain yield across a large number of elite hybrids grown under stress at flowering, variation in both traits is still very apparent (Fig.”
Can Technology Deliver on the Yield Challenge to 2050 (2009, background): “One area of opportunity derives from the fact that cereals, and especially rice and maize, are sensitive to drought at flowering, when a sharp reduction in the numbers of kernels set can occur (Fischer, 1973; 1985; Bruce et al., 2001), inevitably reducing HI.”
Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management (2011, positive): “The advent of whole genomics and related technologies is providing the necessary tools to identify key genes that respond to drought stress and relating their regulation to adaptive events occurring during stress (Bruce et al., 2002).”
Role of Mineral Nutrition in Alleviation of Drought Stress in Plants (2011, positive): “lower leaf area, to reduction in carbon fixation per unit leaf area or to damage of the photosynthetic apparatus (Lal and Edwards, 1996; Saccardy et al., 1996; Foyer et al., 1998; Castrillo et al., 2001; Bruce et al., 2002).”
Drought Tolerance in Maize: Indirect Selection through Secondary Traits versus Genomewide Selection (2013, background): “Phenotyping for drought tolerance is laborious and resource intensive, requiring multiple locations and years of field testing to accurately characterize the traits involved (Bruce et al., 2002; Collins et al., 2008).”
Understanding plant responses to drought - from genes to the whole plant. (2003, background): “…associated with the plant’s ability to store reserves in some organs (stems and roots) and to mobilise them for fruit production, a response well documented in crop plants, such as cereals (Gebbing and Schnyder 1999; Bruce et al. 2002) and some legumes (Rodrigues et al. 1995; Chaves et al. 2002).”
The U.S. drought of 2012 in perspective: A call to action (2013, background): “Achieving breeding and management improvements for differing timings, intensities, and durations of drought stress has proven complex (Bruce et al., 2002; Campos et al., 2004).”
Future progress in drought tolerance in maize needs new secondary traits and cross combinations (2008, background): “…a B73rMo17 population differing in root traits showed that the class of lines with reduced adventitious and lateral root development yielded better under drought conditions that the class with more vigorous root development (T. C. Barker & I. Saab, unpublished data, cited by Bruce et al. 2002).”
Evaluation of drought tolerance of some corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids in Iran. (2010, positive): “Among various abiotic and biotic stress factors, drought is an important cause of genotype by environmental interactions in maize across years, locations (Löffler et al., 2005; Setimela et al., 2005) and most likely within individual fields (Bruce et al., 2002).”
Impact of water supply on photosynthesis, water use and carbon isotope discrimination of sugar beet genotypes (2006, background): “As water resources for agronomic uses become more imiting, the development of drought-tolerant cultivars gains in mportance (Bruce et al., 2002; Ober, 2001).”
