The world's five Mediterranean-climate regions (MCRs) share unique climatic regimes of
mild, wet winters and warm and dry summers. Agriculture in these regions is threatened by …

During evolution of land plants, the haploid gametophytic stage has been strongly reduced
in size and the diploid sporophytic phase has become the dominant growth form. Both male …

Drought stress during reproductive development could drastically reduce wheat grain
number and yield, but quantitative evaluation of such an effect is unknown under climate …

Drought stress requires plants to adjust their water balance to maintain tissue water levels.
Isohydric plants ('water-savers') typically achieve this through stomatal closure, while …

This study was conducted to understand the mechanism of wheat yield decrease under
drought stress and the role of CO 2 in modulating physiological and metabolic drought …

Wheat production is seriously influenced by extreme hot weather, which has attracted
increasing attention. It is important to compare wheat responses to heat at seedling and …

The semi-arid regions of the Western United States, India, China, and other parts of the
world produce a major portion of the world's food and fiber needs—from staple food grains …

Context Wheat crops are highly sensitive to elevated temperatures and experience
significant yield losses when short periods of heat occur at sensitive developmental phases …

Anther development progresses through 15 distinct developmental stages in wheat, and
accurate determination of anther developmental stages is essential in anther and pollen …

Breeding for drought tolerance is the most effective approach to mitigate drought effects. The
prime goal of the current study was to identify potentially drought‐tolerant wheat (Triticum …
