Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

Maintaining grain quality of wheat under climate change is critical for human nutrition, end-
use functional properties, as well as commodity value. This paper reviews the current …

Increasing the accuracy of crop productivity estimates is a key element in planning
adaptation strategies to ensure global food security under climate change. Process-based …

With world population growing quickly, agriculture needs to produce more with fewer inputs
while being environmentally friendly. In a context of changing environments, crop models …

Nitrogen isotopic studies have the potential to shed light on the structure of ancient
ecosystems, agropastoral regimes, and human-environment interactions. Until relatively …

Micronutrient malnutrition affects over 2 billion people in the develo** world. Iron (Fe)
deficiency alone affects> 47% of all preschool aged children globally, often leading to …

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required in large quantities for the proper growth and
development of plants. Nitrogen is the most limiting macronutrient for crop production in …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency associated with low dietary intake is a well-documented public health
problem, resulting in serious health and socioeconomic problems. Field experiments were …

In this review, recent developments and future prospects of obtaining a better understanding
of the regulation of nitrogen use efficiency in the main crop species cultivated in the world …

The yield and quality of food crops is central to the well being of humans and is directly
affected by climate and weather. Initial studies of climate change on crops focussed on …
