Heat stress during flowering has differential impact on male and female reproductive organ
viability leading to yield losses in field crops. Unlike flooded rice, dryland cereals such as …

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 …

Food security and the protection of the environment are urgent issues for global society,
particularly with the uncertainties of climate change. Changing climate is predicted to have a …

Background Short episodes of high temperature (HT) stress during reproductive stages of
development cause significant yield losses in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Two …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can serve as signaling molecules that are essential for plant
growth and development but abiotic stress can lead to ROS increases to supraoptimal levels …

Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has gained considerable attention worldwide
during the past decade due to its nutritional and health benefits. However, its susceptibility to …

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum R. Br.) is an important staple and nutritious food crop in
the semiarid and arid ecologies of South Asia (SA) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In view of …

Adverse climatic conditions at the time of flowering severely hinder crop yields and threaten
the interactions between plants and their pollinators. These features depend on a common …

High temperature (HT) decreases seed set percentage in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.]
Moench). The relative sensitivity of pollen and particularly pistil and the mechanistic …

Exposure to temperatures≥ 30° C during flowering and grain filling stages can negatively
affect seed set and seed weight in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The screening of a …
