Abstract excerpt
Wheat productivity is commonly limited by a lack of water essential for growth. Carbon isotope discrimination (Delta), through its negative relationship with transpiration efficiency, has been used in selection of higher wheat yields in breeding for rainfed environments. The potential also exists for selection of increased Delta for improved adaptation to irrigated and high rainfall environments. Selection...
