AB  - Improving water use efficiency (WUE) has been proven to be a prosperous way to 
      produce more grain in drought-prone areas. Transpiration efficiency (TE) has been 
      proposed as a criterion for screening cultivars with high WUE. This study 
      quantifies the relations of TE to relative soil water content (RSWC) gradients 
      using pot experiments and evaluates the capability of the relations of TE-RSWC on 
      assessing the cultivar performance in field yield and WUE. Twelve winter wheat 
      cultivars were grown at 6 RSWC, 12.1, 24.2, 36.3, 48.4, 60.5, and 72.6% of field 
      capacity (FC = 24.8 g/g) for 33 days in tightly sealed pots preventing soil 
      evaporation. The results showed that TE decreased power functionally following 
      the increase in RSWC for all cultivars. The relationship could be described as TE 
      = TE (FC) x (RSWC) (b) , named TE-RSWC curve. This curve could be divided into an 
      orderly area where the rank of cultivars was stable when RSWC </= 12.1% or RSWC >/= 
      72.6% and a disorderly area where the rank was unstable when 12.1% < RSWC < 
      72.6%. To assess the consistency of pot TE to field yield and WUE, the same 12 
      varieties were grown under rainfed and two irrigations (75 mm at the jointing and 
      flowering stages, respectively). TE (FC) was found to be positively related to 
      field yield and WUE independent of irrigation. TE measured near the wilting point 
      was negatively related to field yield and WUE. These results indicated that TE 
      (FC) could be used as a surrogate for screening high-yield and high-WUE 
      cultivars. The consistency and inconsistency can be attributed to the orderly 
      area and disorderly area of the TE-RSWC curves.
