Model 2 to select for drought tolerance

Model 2 to select for drought tolerance - Mexico, DF (Mexico) CIMMYT : 1997 - Printed
A model is developed to differentiate between ontogenetic and phylogenetic drought tolerance (DT) and their interaction in annual plants. The relationship among these components and observed variation in ontogenetic profiles of DT are explained. Confusion among these components and other mechanisms of DT within groups of varieties with similar days to flowering are discussed. The use of the model helps avoid misinterpretation of DT responses and may facilitate more efficient selection under drought.
