This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
drought-resistant crops. The first chapter assesses the genes
involved in drought and heat tolerance, as well as the
physiological traits related to increased tolerance to abiotic
stress in wheat. It reviews advances in our understanding of the
molecular markers associated with these physiological traits, and
the roles of key genes in determining a wheat plant's response to
heat and drought stress. The second chapter discusses mechanisms of
drought resistance in rice. It reviews ways of assessing drought
tolerance performance, identifying genes promoting drought
tolerance through quantitative trait loci (QLT) analysis, as well
as breeding for drought tolerance. The third chapter highlights the
genetic diversity and quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with
the traits contributing to drought and heat tolerance in soybean.
It also reviews genomic resources that can facilitate a better
understanding of phenotype-genotype associations and formulate
genomic-assisted breeding strategies. The final chapter addresses
the polygenic nature of tolerance to drought and to heat in grain
legumes. It reviews advances in understanding plant adaptation to
stress, the assembly of molecular and phenotyping tools to support
breeding and the development of tolerance through traditional and
molecular breeding techniques.
