Drought in C3 Cereals: what to breed for?
Drought is the main abiotic constraint on cereal yield. Araus et al. (pp. 925-940) examine the physiological traits that may help in breeding for higher yield and stability under drought conditions. The use of integrative traits such as carbon isotope discrimination (Delta13C), canopy temperature depression (CTD) or spectroradiometrical-derived indices is highlighted.
