- Title
PHYSIOLOGICAL APPROACHES FOR BREEDING DROUGHT TOLERANT BRASSICA GENOTYPES.

- Abstract
Among various abiotic stresses affecting the crop production, drought is the most serious constraint for global agriculture as it affects more than 75% of the world's land area. It exerts many-fold effects at whole plant level in rapeseed and mustard. Its effects on plant phenology, growth and development, physiological processes, source-sink relations and plant reproduction processes depend on the severity of drought. An understanding of the various physiological traits controlling/ regulating crop responses to drought is required to develop drought resistant varieties of rapeseed and mustard. In this review, we have attempted to amass scattered information at one platform, and suggested as to how these can be integrated towards the ultimate aim of developing drought tolerant varieties in oilseed Brassica.
