This volume explores specific approaches that have shown to result in crop yield increases. Research on the physiological understanding of these methods has led to the development of practical applications of plant breeding approaches to genetically improve crops to achieve higher yields. Authoritative entries from crop scientists shed new light on two water-conservation traits: one that is based on an initiation of the decrease in transpiration earlier in the soil drying cycle, and the second that is based on a sensitivity of transpiration rate under high atmospheric vapor pressure deficit that results in partial stomatal closure. Both these approaches involve partial ... Read more

About Thomas . Ed(S): Sinclair
Dr. Thomas R. Sinclair is an adjunct professor in crop science at North Carolina State University. His research focuses on the interactions between plant physiology and the environment to determine crop yields. He is currently investigating plant traits that may increase drought tolerance.
