World population is expected to reach 9.2× 109 people by 2050. Feeding them will require a
boost in crop productivity using innovative approaches. Current agricultural production is …

Wheat yields globally will depend increasingly on good management to conserve rainfall
and new varieties that use water efficiently for grain production. Here we propose an …

Drought is one of the most important phenomena which limit crops' production and yield.
Crops demonstrate various morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular …

Cereals are grown in almost every region of the world and are exposed to a variety of
environmental stresses that severely affect their growth and grain yield. Of various abiotic …

Improving crops yield under water-limited conditions is the most daunting challenge faced
by breeders. To this end, accurate, relevant phenotyping plays an increasingly pivotal role …

An emerging paradigm is that root traits that reduce the metabolic costs of soil exploration
improve the acquisition of limiting soil resources. Here, we test the hypothesis that reduced …

A substantial increase in grain yield potential is required, along with better use of water and
fertilizer, to ensure food security and environmental protection in future decades. For …

Biological assay has been based on analysis of all individuals collected from sample
populations. Bulked sample analysis (BSA), which works with selected and pooled …

Drought is the main abiotic constraint on cereal yield. Analysing physiological determinants
of yield responses to water may help in breeding for higher yield and stability under drought …

Drought is one of the greatest limitations to crop expansion outside the present-day
agricultural areas. It will become increasingly important in regions of the globe where, in the …
