Understanding root system architecture and development in winter cereals and drought stress adaptation and tolerance mechanisms.
To achieve optimum grain yield level under the influence of climate change soil-plant-atmosphere system is required to work dynamically and effectively as the winter cereals need. Understanding root system architecture and root growth have benefits for adaptation and coping with drought stress. The precipitation in the winter period generally corresponds to a sufficient level for the development of winter cereals whereas drought and water scarcity conditions often occur with hot weather and deficit rainfall during the reproductive stages of them. For this reason, the scope of the lecture is aimed to learn the mechanism of effective root development and drought stress resistance in winter season cereals.
