Root adaptations to soils with low fertility and aluminium toxicity
Background Plants depend on their root systems to acquire the water and nutrients necessary for their survival in nature, and for their yield and nutritional quality in agriculture. Root systems are complex and a variety ...
Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work ...
Estimation of phenotypic variability in symbiotic nitrogen fixation ability of common bean under drought stress using 15N natural abundance in grain
tCommon bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume, cultivated by small farmers andis usually exposed to unfavorable conditions with minimum use of inputs. Drought and low soil fertility,especially ...
Physiological traits associated with drought resistance in Andean and Mesoamerican genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human consumption, and drought stress affects over 60% of dry bean production worldwide. Field and rainout shelter studies were conducted at the ...
Effective use of water and increased dry matter partitioned to grain contribute to yield of common bean improved for drought resistance
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance ...
