Effects of a photoperiod-response gene Ppd-D1 on yield potential and drought resistance in UK winter wheat (2004, background): “Effects of Ppd-D1 on drought resistance It has been estimated that on average 39% of UK winter wheat fields incur drought for at least ten days during the growing season and that the average annual yield loss to drought is in the region of 15% (Austin, 1978; Foulkes et al., 2001, 2002).”
Drought Stress in Wheat during Flowering and Grain-filling Periods (2014, background): “Leaf persistence Yes Foulkes et al. (2007) Leaf senescence Yes Hafsi et al.”
Raising yield potential of wheat. III. Optimizing partitioning to grain while maintaining lodging resistance. (2011, background): “43 (Foulkes et al., 2002; Ehdaie et al., 2006; Ruuska et al., 2006; Reynolds et al., 2007), indicating that breeding should be possible for this trait in agro-ecological regions where stem reserves are important for post-anthesis source.”
Identifying physiological traits associated with improved drought resistance in winter wheat (2007, methodology): “Maximal amounts are accumulated about 9 days after flowering (Austin et al., 1977; Foulkes et al., 2002).”
The Physiological Basis of the Genetic Progress in Yield Potential of CIMMYT Spring Wheat Cultivars from 1966 to 2009 (2015, background): “…with some other field investigations, for example, 0.21 reported by Borrell et al. (1989) for spring wheat in field experiments in Australia and a range of 0.23 to 0.39 reported by Foulkes et al. (2002) for six winter wheat cultivars in experiments in the United Kingdom under irrigated conditions.”
Mapping quantitative trait loci for flag leaf senescence as a yield determinant in winter wheat under optimal and drought-stressed environments (2004, result): “This is consistent with previous findings that the drought escape effect of early flowering may be marginal under UK conditions where droughts are rarely as severe as other dryland regions ( Foulkes et al., 2002 ).”
