Water-deficit tolerant classification in mutant lines of indica rice
TL;DR: Water shortage is a major abiotic stress for crop production worldwide, limiting the productivity of crop species, especially in dry-land agricultural areas, and this investigation aimed to classify the water-deficit tolerance in mutant rice genotypes during the reproductive stage using Ward's method.
Selection of Drought Tolerant Maize Hybrids Using Path Coefficient Analysis and Selection Index.
TL;DR: Path coefficient analysis showed that traits EPP, TS, PR, EASP, R-EPH were important secondary traits in the present experiment and these traits were used in a selection index to classify hybrids according to their performance under drought.

Arabidopsis poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase 1 is required for drought, osmotic and oxidative stress responses.
TL;DR: Results suggest a function for PARG1 in abiotic stress responses in Arabidopsis, as well as increased levels of cell damage under osmotic and oxidative stress and reduced survival under drought stress when compared with the wild type plants.

Genotypic variation in biochemical and physiological responses of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) landraces to prolonged drought stress and subsequent rewatering
TL;DR: Wide genotypic variation in biochemical and physiological traits among the landraces indicates the importance of these traits in selecting for tolerance to drought stress, especially in arid and semi-arid environments.

Human biochemical genetics
TL;DR: For the next few weeks the course is going to be exploring a field that’s actually older than classical population genetics, although the approach it’ll be taking to it involves the use of population genetic machinery.

Roles of glycine betaine and proline in improving plant abiotic stress resistance
Muhammad Ashraf,Majid R. Foolad +1 more
TL;DR: In this review article, numerous examples of successful application of these compounds to improve plant stress tolerance are presented and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of exogenously applied GB and proline is expected to aid their effective utilization in crop production in stress environments.

TL;DR: Overexpression of the DREB1A cDNA in transgenic Arabidopsis plants not only induced strong expression of the target genes under unstressed conditions but also caused dwarfed phenotypes in the transgenic plants, and revealed freezing and dehydration tolerance.
Drought and Salt Tolerance in Plants
TL;DR: The responses of plants to salt and water stress are described, the regulatory circuits which allow plants to cope with stress are presented, and how the present knowledge can be applied to obtain tolerant plants is discussed.
