Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “In this context, breeding for higher yield potential plus traits that confer stress avoidance (i.e., to avoid cell dehydration) may, in general, be a better option (see examples in Araus et al., 2002, 2003a, b).”
Breeding for high water-use efficiency. (2004, background): “…environments in which frequency of rainfall events was high early in the season, but was not sustained during later stages of growth, typical Mediterranean-type environments (Condon et al., 1993; Condon and Hall, 1997; Voltas et al., 1999; Merah et al., 2001; Royo et al., 2002; Araus et al., 2003).”
Drought tolerance improvement in crop plants: An integrated view from breeding to genomics (2008, background): “Araus et al. (2003) found that yield was well correlated with water input under different water stress conditions.”
Effective use of water (EUW) and not water-use efficiency (WUE) is the target of crop yield improvement under drought stress (2009, background): “Considering all of the above (1 through 4), it is not surprising that drought resistance was found to be associated with low WUE when analyzed by delta under limited water supply (e.g. Araus et al., 2003; Morgan et al., 1993; Ngugi et al., 1994; Solomon and Labuschagne, 2004).”
