Drought Tolerance in Winter Cereals

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Presents the proceedings of an international symposium held jointly by the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) and the National Research Council of Italy (CNR). Contributors discuss a variety of techniques used to improve strains of winter cereals for growth in dry habitats. They examine the role of plant and crop physiology in accelerating cereal improvement for dry areas, types of environments (and plant traits to cope with these environments), breeding methodologies and their relative effectiveness, and new approaches to growing winter cereals in arid regions.
