Global warming and associated precipitation changes will negatively impact on many
agricultural ecosystems. Major food production areas are expected to experience reduced …

Constraints in field phenoty** capability limit our ability to dissect the genetics of
quantitative traits, particularly those related to yield and stress tolerance (eg, yield potential …

Raising temperature and increased drought events induced by a changing climate have
increased the need for efficient use of natural resources and energy supplies. Producing …

Drought is a predominant cause of low yields worldwide. There is an urgent need for more
water efficient crop** systems facing large water consumption of irrigated agriculture and …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important food crop and requires larger amount of water
throughout its life cycle as compared to other crops. Hence, water related stress cause …

As a result of climate change, drought is predicted to pose greater pressure on food
production system than in the past. At the same time, crop yield co-varies with both …

Both photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (gs) respond to changing irradiance, yet
stomatal responses are an order of magnitude slower than photosynthesis, resulting in …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is often considered as a drought sensitive crop and its
sustainable production is threatened due to frequent drought episodes. There has been …

Drought and heat stresses are important threat limitations to plant growth and sustainable
agriculture worldwide. Our objective is to provide a review of plant responses and …

Chickpea is one of the most economically important food legumes, and a significant source
of proteins. It is cultivated in more than 50 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia …
