Abiotic stresses are one of the major constraints to crop production and food security
worldwide. The situation has aggravated due to the drastic and rapid changes in global …

Heat stress (HS) is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the production and quality of
wheat. Rising temperatures are particularly threatening to wheat production. A detailed …

Increasing temperature and consequent changes in climate adversely affect plant growth
and development, resulting in catastrophic loss of wheat productivity. For each degree rise …

Global warming is predicted to have a general negative effect on plant growth due to the
damaging effect of high temperatures on plant development. The increasing threat of …

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 …

Crop failure is largely caused by various climate hazards, and among them, heat stress is
the primary factor hindering crop production. The significant global loss of crop yield is …

Wheat provides 20% of calories and protein consumed by humans. Recent genetic gains
are< 1% per annum (pa), insufficient to meet future demand. The Wheat Yield Consortium …

Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated
with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress-a severe …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

Drought and heat stress cause losses in wheat productivity in major growing regions
worldwide, and both the occurrence and the severity of these events are likely to increase …
