The role of root architectural traits in adaptation of wheat to water-limited environments. (2006, background): “Similarly, Bengough et al. (2004) observed a relatively narrower angular spread of seminal roots in wild barley when compared with modern cultivars.”
Identification and characterization of QTL underlying whole‐plant physiology in Arabidopsis thaliana: δ13C, stomatal conductance and transpiration efficiency (2005, background): “There is also a great deal of interest in improving crop performance through direct selection on d(13)C (Rebetzke et al. 2002; Araus et al. 2002).”
Effect of Drought Stress during Grain Filling on Yield and Its Components, Gas Exchange Variables, and Some Physiological Traits of Wheat Cultivars (2015, background): “This is probably because the potential of these components was formed before spike initiation, so postanthesis water stress had no significant influence on them (Araus et al., 2002).”
Replacing Fallow with Continuous Cropping Reduces Crop Water Productivity of Semiarid Wheat (2013, background): “Results from this study indicate an opportunity to increase the yield potential and crop water productivity of WWCC in water-limited systems by developing adapted germplasm (Araus et al., 2002).”
Physiological breeding I: interdisciplinary approaches to improve crop adaptation (2012, background): “Integrati ve traits like CT may combine several important physiological and possibly disease reacti on mechanisms (Araus et al., 2002).”
Genetic improvement effects on yield stability in durum wheat genotypes grown in Italy (2010, background): “On the other hand, it has also been suggested that in mild drought conditions, characterized by a wheat/barley grain yield between 2 and 5 tha−1, selection for high-yield potential had frequently led to some yield improvements under drought (Araus et al., 2002;Rizzaet al., 2004;Cattivelli et al., 20”
Seed dry weight response to source–sink manipulations in wheat, maize and soybean: a quantitative reappraisal (2004, background): “…from our quantitative analysis, wheat seeds grown under normal or more extreme growing conditions are close to the supply level of precursors that maximize seed accumulation rates and final seed dry weight (Richards, 1996; Slafer et al., 1996; Calderini et al., 2001; Araus et al., 2002).”
Water use efficiency in C3 cereals under Mediterranean conditions: a review of physiological aspects (2007, background): “Accordingly with this model, grain yield could be increased by (a) the capacity of capture more water, (b) the efficiency for producing dry matter per unit of used water and (c) the ability to devote more assimilates to the grains (Araus et al. 2002).”
Methods and concepts in quantifying resistance to drought, salt and freezing, abiotic stresses that affect plant water status. (2006, background): “Abiotic stress limits crop productivity (Araus et al., 2002; Boyer, 1982), and plays a major role in determining the distribution of plant species across different types of environments.”
