Книга: Anila Afridi,Inam Ullah and Muhammad Ikram «Genetic Diversity For Drought Resistance In Wheat»
|
Производитель: "LAP Lambert Academic Publishing" The genus Triticum includes bread (Triticum aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum durum) and constitutes a major source for human food consumption. Drought is currently the leading threat on world`s food supply, limiting crop yield, and is complicated since drought tolerance is a quantitative trait with a complex phenotype affected by the plant`s developmental stage. Drought tolerance is crucial to stabilize and increase food production since domestication has limited the genetic diversity of crops including wild wheat, leading to cultivated species, adapted to artificial environments, and lost tolerance to drought stress.
