Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Averaged over 13 European sites, drought-tolerant (DT) wheat ideotypes yielded 13.4% more than drought-sensitive (DS) ideotypes under a 2050 climate scenario.
- Intervention effect Drought-tolerant wheat ideotypes also showed higher yield stability than drought-sensitive ideotypes under the 2050 scenario.
- Intervention effect In southern Europe, mean yield of drought-tolerant wheat ideotypes was 28-37% greater than that of drought-sensitive ideotypes.
- Intervention effect In north-western Europe, no yield difference (at most 1%) was found between wheat ideotypes.
- Intervention effect Drought tolerance gave an intermediate yield benefit of 10-23% in central and eastern Europe.
