Abstract excerpt
Drought is a major constraint to canola production around the world. There is potential for improving crop performance in dry environments by selecting for transpiration efficiency (TE). In this work we investigated TE by studying its genetic association with carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) and other traits, e.g. specific leaf weight (SLW) and leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD). Among the 106 canola genotypes -...
