The sensitivity of expansive growth to water deficit has a large genetic variability, which is
higher than that of photosynthesis. It is observed in several species, with some genotypes …

Partial root-zone drying improves irrigation water productivity (IWP, yield per unit applied
irrigation water) with respect to controls receiving substantially more water, but similar gains …

Climate change is characterized by higher temperatures, elevated atmospheric CO2
concentrations, extreme climatic hazards, and less water available for agriculture …

The stomatal control of transpiration is one of the major strategies by which plants cope with
water stress. Here, we investigated the genetic architecture of the rootstock control of scion …

The modeling of yield response to water is expected to play an increasingly important role in
the optimization of crop water productivity (WP) in agriculture. During 3 yr (2004–2007), field …

This study compared maize, sorghum and pearl-millet, leading C 4 cereals, for the
transpiration rate (TR) response to increasing atmospheric and soil water stress. The TR …

Understanding the water‐use of plants is timely under increasing drought stress due to
climate change. Despite the crucial role of roots in water uptake, relationships between …

Plants in nature are continuously exposed to several biotic and environmental limitations.
Among these limitations, soil water deficit is one of the most adverse factors of plant growth …

Abstract Development and testing of reliable tools for simulating rice production in salt-
affected areas are presented in this paper. New functions were implemented in existing crop …

Irrigation management has become a critical concern in the face of increasing water scarcity
and food demand, particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. However, the …
