The excess of salts in soils causes stress in most plants, except for some halophytes that can
tolerate higher levels of salinity. The excess of Na+ generates an ionic imbalance, reducing …

During the last years, a great effort has been dedicated at the development and employment
of diverse approaches for achieving more stress‐tolerant and climate‐flexible crops and …

We explore the role of agriculture in destabilizing the Earth system at the planetary scale,
through examining nine planetary boundaries, or “safe limits”: land-system change …

Climate change is a threat to global food security due to the reduction of crop productivity
around the globe. Food security is a matter of concern for stakeholders and policymakers as …

Drought is a major environmental factor limiting wheat production worldwide. However, the
genetic components underlying wheat drought tolerance are largely unknown. Here, we …

There is an increasing understanding that variation in gene presence–absence plays an
important role in the heritability of agronomic traits; however, there have been relatively few …
