Description:

In crop plants grain yield is dependent on biomass which in-turn determined by the total water use and its efficiency (WUE). Therefore in a crop improvement programme, it is always useful to identify genotypes where WUE is high despite relatively high transpiration. Such genotypes will be more productive by virtue of better biomass accumulation. This monogram highlights the importance of determining genetic variability in WUE and transpiration simultaneously in several crop species through oxygen ( 18O) and carbon ( 13C) isotope signatures. This approach is highly useful in quantifying transpiration and mesophyll factors associated with WUE which is a key factor in assessing economic yield…
