Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Drought (water deficits) and heat (high temperatures) stress are the prime abiotic
constraints, under the current and climate change scenario in future. Any further increase in …

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 …

Climate change is adversely affecting wheat yields as the associated rising temperatures
damage its reproductive physiology. Heat stress affects wheat at various stages of growth …

To ensure the food security of future generations and to address the challenge of the 'no
hunger zone'proposed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), crop production …

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

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

Global agricultural production must double by 2050 to meet the demands of an increasing
world human population but this challenge is further exacerbated by climate change …

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 …

Studies across different crops demonstrated that grain or seed number per unit area (GN m–
2) is the dominant yield component. Although grains or seeds derive from floret or flower …
