Likely, there is still more potential to improve NFDT in soybean Sinclair et al (2000) identified in a screen of 3500 plant introduction lines that eight genotypes exhibited substantial NFDT, exceeding that of Jackson, which is the parent of the already released germplasm Also, mechanisms other than ureide metabolism are involved in NFDT (reviewed in Serraj et al., 1999b) and can be potentially exploited, including carbon flux in nodules (Ladrera et al., 2007), nodule permeability to oxygen (King and Purcell, 2001), or feedback regulation (King and Purcell, 2005) Concluding Remarks In this review, it is suggested that traits improving drought tolerance in soybean can be one of three types: improving access to water, limiting water loss, and overcoming certain sensitivities that are critical to productivity such as NFDT All of these fall within the limits of the concept of matching physiology to water supply, a generalization of one of the trait-concepts offered by Ludlow and Muchow (1990) For this concept to work as a framework for breeding for drought tolerance in crops, the following considerations have to be taken into account As indicated by Eq (1) and Fig 4, it is critical to keep in mind that the highest yields can only be achieved in nonwater-limited environments (Phase I in Fig 4) and that survival situations (Phase III in Fig 4) are often not economically viable This narrows the window of opportunities where it is still possible to manipulate traits pertaining to one of the three above subcategories while guaranteeing yields that are economically meaningful to the grower It is suggested that in breeding efforts or trait discovery enterprises, such economic considerations must be considered A key consideration in any approach aimed at breeding for drought tolerance is development of a full understanding of the physiological traits involved in response to water deficits Through a set of specific experiments, physiological studies should help in at least identifying how traits operate with respect to water saving, accessing more water, or in terms of overcoming some special sensitivities The results of the physiological studies would also be very beneficial in implementing models to quantitatively assess trait impact on yield in different environments Increased probability of improving drought tolerance is likely to result from combining the above effort with other interdisciplinary approaches involving: (i) the dissection of the genetic and—when relevant—the Crops Yield Increase Under Water-Limited Conditions 345 molecular basis of these traits and (ii) high throughput phenotyping methods in the both field and laboratory It is such interdisciplinary effort that has led recently to the identification of new drought tolerance traits in soybean such as “slow-wilting” (Charlson et al., 2009; King et al., 2009), limited TR (Fletcher et al., 2007; Sinclair et al., 2008), and NFDT (Chen et al., 2007; Sinclair et al., 2007), some of which having led to the development of new cultivars ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors are thankful for the financial support during the preparation of this review from the United
