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 …

Key message Many approaches have been adopted to enhance the heat and drought
tolerance of wheat with mixed success. An assessment of the relative merits of different …

Wheat is an important cereal crop with a high demand for nitrogen (N) fertilizer to enable the
grain protein accumulation that is necessary for baking and processing quality. Here …

As a result of climate changes, land use and agriculture have to adapt to new demands.
Agriculture is responsible for a large part of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that have …

Crop productivity relies heavily on nitrogen (N) fertilization. Production and application of N
fertilizers consume huge amounts of energy, and excess is detrimental to the environment; …

All crops require nitrogen (N) for the production of a photosynthetically active canopy, whose
functionality will strongly influence yield. Cereal crops also require N for storage proteins in …

Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) to reduce the application of N fertilisers in a way
that benefits the environment and reduces farmers' costs is an ongoing objective for …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Over the past 3 decades, the study of various mechanisms involved in maize grain yield
(GY) formation and its relationship with nitrogen (N) uptake dynamics has been increasingly …

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 …
