Exploiting yield potential and maintaining yield stability of crops in water-limited environments are urgent tasks that must be undertaken in order to guarantee food supply for the increasing world population.
Due to the drought, cotton farmers have been struggling to maintain yields.
Such changes in crop plants could help maintain yields while reducing farmers' dependence on polluting fertilizers.
In late season, Salers beef cows with a relatively high milk yield potential maintained daily milk yield at the expense of body condition, whereas Charolais cows, which have less milk potential reduced milk yield but lost less live weight (Farruggia et al., 2008).
The selected lines maintained the excellent quality and yield potential of Jin 23B.
Taking all of these results together, we concluded that EL1 is essential for high yield potential, especially for maintaining spikelet fertility.
"We find no evidence," they wrote, "that S.R.I. fundamentally changes the physiological yield potential of rice".
Most studies point out a negative relationship between yield potential (yield under non-stress) and yield under severe stress, but varieties with high yield potential will generally have an advantage over varieties with lower yield potential under moderate drought stress.
