Variability of water use efficiency in grapevines (2014, background): “These two parameters, AN/gs and AN/E, are mostly used to characterize genetic and environmental effects, respectively (Chaves and Oliveira, 2004; Flexas et al., 2004; Galmés et al., 2007; Morison et al., 2008).”
Edible backyards: a qualitative study of household food growing and its contributions to food security (2011, background): “In this context, food security is threatened by food supply systems that are not environmentally sustainable (for example see Xuereb 2005; Forkes 2007; Bunce and Maurer 2005; Morison et al. 2008 ), and by a lack of local understanding and control (at both the individual and community level) of the ”
Improved plant nitrogen nutrition contributes to higher water use efficiency in tomatoes under alternate partial root-zone irrigation (2010, background): “Worldwide shortage of freshwater resources has stimulated research into water-saving irrigation strategies in order to increase crop water use efficiency (WUE) (Morison et al. 2008).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “In particular, warmer, drier summers in mid-continental regions such as central Europe and central Africa are predicted, along with a reduction in growing season in many regions, extensive salinization as sea levels rise, and a decrease in land suitable for agriculture (Easterling et al., 2000; IPCC”
Improving water use efficiency in grapevines: potential physiological targets for biotechnological improvement. (2010, background): “…water use efficiency by crop management In this scenario, reducing water use for irrigation and increasing water use efficiency (WUE) – i.e., improving the yield to water consumption ratio – becomes a major priority in agriculture (Costa et al. 2007; Collins et al. 2008; Morison et al. 2008).”
Responses of the pea (Pisumsativum L.) leaf metabolome to drought stress assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (2008, background): “Chemical signalling from roots to shoots via the xylem stream to influence growth, timing of reproduction and stomatal function is an important part of plants’ early responses to soil drying (Davies et al. 2002; Sharp 2002; Morison et al. 2008).”
Agricultural sustainability: concepts, principles and evidence (2008, background): “(vi) Water harvesting in dryland areas, which means formerly abandoned and degraded lands can be cultivated, and additional crops can be grown on small patches of irrigated land owing to better rain water retention (Pretty 1995; Reij 1996), and improving water productivity of crops (Morison et al. 2”
Recent Advances in Photosynthesis Under Drought and Salinity (2011, background): “Major concern exists in countries like China or India where the combination of increasing domestic/ industrial water consumption and deficient management of soil and water resources endanger food security (Beddington, 2010; Brown, 2008; Costa and Heuvelink, 2004; Morison et al., 2008).”
Raising yield potential in wheat. (2009, background): “The authors recognize that improved crop management will also play a crucial role in stabilizing and increasing crop yields and, while beyond the scope of this review, readers are referred to the following (Govaerts et al., 2005; Cook, 2006; Matthiessen and Kirkegaard, 2006; Fereres and Soriano, 200”
Improving crop productivity and resource use efficiency to ensure food security and environmental quality in China. (2012, background): “Crop varieties with increased tolerance to drought are also required in many parts of the world but particularly in China (Morison et al. 2008).”
