Drought escape (DE) is a classical adaptive mechanism which involves rapid plant
development to enable the completion of the full life-cycle prior to a coming drought event …

Drought is a major environmental stress threatening wheat productivity worldwide. Global
climate models predict changed precipitation patterns with frequent episodes of drought …

Ambient temperatures have increased since the beginning of the century and are predicted
to continue rising under climate change. Such increases in temperature can cause heat …

To determine root growth and grain yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) under
moderate drought stress, a nursery experiment and a field trial were conducted with or …

Drought is the main abiotic constraint on cereal yield. Analysing physiological determinants
of yield responses to water may help in breeding for higher yield and stability under drought …

A substantial increase in grain yield potential is required, along with better use of water and
fertilizer, to ensure food security and environmental protection in future decades. For …

This new edition of a bestseller examines plant nutrition's role as one of the most important
limiting factors that must be overcome to optimize food production. Extensively revised and …

The need to accelerate breeding for increased yield potential and better adaptation to
drought and other abiotic stresses is an issue of increasing urgency. As the population …

Durum wheat performance in the Mediterranean climate is limited when water scarcity
occurs before and during anthesis. The present research was performed to determine the …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …
