Abstract excerpt
Water scarcity is a critical threat to global crop production. Here, we used the natural diversity of barley (Hordeum vulgare) to dissect the genetic control of proline (Pro) mediated drought stress adaptation. Genetic mapping and positional cloning of a major drought-inducible quantitative trait locus (QPro.S42-1H) revealed unique allelic variation in pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (P5cs1) between the...
