Drought is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses hampering seed germination,
development, and productivity. Maize is more sensitive to drought than other cereals …

The current pace of crop improvement is inadequate to feed the burgeoning human
population by 2050. Higher, more stable, and sustainable crop production is required …

Plant growth and crop yield are negatively affected by a reduction in water availability.
However, a clear understanding of how growth is regulated under nonlethal drought …

Drought and heat stress substantially impact plant growth and productivity. When subjected
to drought or heat stress, plants exhibit reduction in growth resulting in yield losses. The …

Plants endure many abiotic stresses, such as temperature (heat or frost), drought, and salt.
Such factors are primary and frequent stressors that reduce agriculture crop yields. Often …

Genomic regions governing water deficit stress tolerance were identified in peanut using a
recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from an elite variety TMV 2 and its narrow …

Crop genetic improvement for environmental stress at the molecular and physiological level
is very complex and challenging. Unlike the example of the current major commercial …

Drought tolerance is a key trait for increasing and stabilizing barley productivity in dry areas
worldwide. Identification of the genes responsible for drought tolerance in barley (Hordeum …

Drought is one of the most serious abiotic stress factors limiting crop yields. Although
sunflower is considered a moderate drought-tolerant plant, drought stress still has a …

Drought tolerance is a significant quantitative trait with many phenotypes and is often
complicated by plant phenology. Different types of environmental stresses, such as high …
