Selection for drought tolerance in sorghum using desiccants to simulate post-anthesis drought stress
2016-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Late-season drought is a major limiting factor worldwide for rainfed sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] production. Field screening of genotypes against post-anthesis drought is challenging as the stress is unpredictable and, when it happens, is often confounded with stalk diseases and lodging. In this study, we report on the results of tests on the use of desiccants in simulating post-anthesis drought effects...
