Changes in temperature, CO2, and precipitation under the scenarios of climate change for
the next 30 yr present a challenge to crop production. This review focuses on the impact of …

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 …

Genetic modification plays a vital role in breeding new crops with excellent traits. Almost all
the current genetic modification methods require regeneration from tissue culture, involving …

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 …

Heat stress has been defined as the rise of temperature for a period of time higher than a
threshold level, thereby permanently affecting the plant growth and development. Day or …

The reproductive (gametophytic) phase in flowering plants is often highly sensitive to hot or
cold temperature stresses, with even a single hot day or cold night sometimes being fatal to …

Drought and heat stress are among the two most important environmental factors influencing
crop growth, development, and yield processes. A comprehensive understanding of the …

Temperature thresholds for a range of crops from cereal crops to horticultural crops and to
legum crops were identified through an extensive literature review. Identification of …

Episodes of high temperature at anthesis, which in rice is the most sensitive stage to
temperature, are expected to occur more frequently in future climates. The morphology of the …

This review addresses possible adaptation strategies in rice production to abiotic stresses
that will aggravate under climate change: heat (high temperature and humidity), drought …
