Plant roots play a significant role in plant growth by exploiting soil resources via the uptake
of water and nutrients. Root traits such as fine root diameter, specific root length, specific root …

With ongoing climate change, the severity, frequency and duration of drought in cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.), soybean (Glycine max L.), and corn (Zea mays L.) producing areas …

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 …

Improving crops yield under water-limited conditions is the most daunting challenge faced
by breeders. To this end, accurate, relevant phenoty** plays an increasingly pivotal role …

Drought and its interaction with high temperature are the major abiotic stress factors
affecting soybean yield and production stability. Ongoing climate changes are anticipated to …

Climate change has increased the occurrence of extreme weather patterns globally, causing
significant reductions in crop production, and hence threatening food security. In order to …

Many sources of drought and flooding tolerance have been identified in soybean, however
underlying molecular and physiological mechanisms are poorly understood. Therefore, it is …

Water deficit under nearly all field conditions is the major constraint on plant yields. Other
than empirical observations, very little progress has been made in develo** crop plants in …

Natural genetic variations in waterlogging tolerance are controlled by multiple genes
mapped as quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in major crops, including soybean (Glycine max L.) …

Global climate change is expected to increase the occurrence and severity of drought
episodes due to increasing temperatures and evapotranspiration. Therefore, food security in …
