Genetic basis and adaptive implications of temperature-dependent and temperature-independent effects of drought on chickpea reproductive phenology.

Abstract excerpt

Water deficit often hastens flowering of pulses partially because droughted plants are hotter. Separating temperature-independent and temperature-dependent effects of drought is important to understand, model, and manipulate phenology. We define a new trait, drought effect on phenology (DEP), as the difference in flowering time between irrigated and rainfed crops, and use FST genome scanning to probe for genomic...
