Improvement of drought resistance in rice. (2009, background): “Similarly, the use of plant water status parameters such as leaf water potential or relative water content as stress covariables is also often biased by variability, G E interaction, and mostly by the impracticality for high-throughput field applications (Lafitte, 2002).”
WATER DEFICIT STRESS IN THE REPRODUCTIVE STAGE OF FOUR INDICA RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.) GENOTYPES (2010, background): “The reduction of RWC in 80 double haploid rice genotypes is closely correlated with grain yield and has been investigated as a water-deficit tolerance indicator in rice breeding programs (Lafitte, 2002).”
Approaches to increasing the salt tolerance of wheat and other cereals. (2006, background): “Relative water content (RWC) is easier to measure, but not valid when osmotic adjustment occurs (Lafitte, 2002).”
Genotype x environment interactions for grain yield of upland rice backcross lines in diverse hydrological environments (2008, background): “…during vegetative growth, can interrupt floret initiation, while drought during flowering causes spikelet sterility, and terminal drought effects grain filling (Ekanayake et al., 1989; Lilley and Fukai, 1994c; Kamoshita et al., 2001; Lafitte, 2002; Pantuwan et al., 2002; Kamoshita et al., 2004).”
