Climate change-induced increases in the frequency of extreme weather events, particularly
heatwaves, are a serious threat to crop productivity. The productivity of grain crops is …

Drought is one of the significant abiotic stresses threatening crop production worldwide.
Soybean is a major legume crop with immense economic significance, but its production is …

It is vital to ramp up crop production dramatically by 2050 due to the increasing global
population and demand for food. However, with the climate change projections showing that …

Plants experience a variety of adverse environments during their vegetative growth and
reproductive development, and to ensure that they complete their life cycle successfully, they …

Flowering time is one of important agronomic traits determining the crop yield and affected
by high temperature. When facing high ambient temperature, plants often initiate early …

As a short-day (SD) and thermophilic plant, soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is sensitive to
photo-thermal conditions. This characteristic severely limits the cultivation range of a given …

Abstract PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs) integrate light and temperature
signs to control plant growth and development. However, little is known about PIFs in crop …

Shade‐intolerant plants respond to the decrease in the red (R) to far‐red (FR) light ratio (R:
FR) occurring under shade by elongating stems and petioles and by re‐positioning leaves …

Abstract Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a typical short-day and temperate crop that is
sensitive to photoperiod and temperature. Responses of soybean to photothermal …

Background Water insufficiency is a major abiotic stressor that significantly reduces crop
yields, posing a serious threat to global food security. Soybean, a key legume and one the …
