Climate change has devastating effects on plant growth and yield. During ontogenesis,
plants are subjected to a variety of abiotic stresses, including drought and salinity, affecting …

Environmental pollution, increasing CO2 atmospheric levels and the greenhouse effect are
closely associated with the ongoing climate change and the extreme climatic events we are …

With an aim of enhancing drought tolerance using a marker‐assisted backcrossing (MABC)
approach, we introgressed the “QTL‐hotspot” region from ICC 4958 accession that harbors …

Ecological stressors are considered to negatively affect biological systems; however,
corresponding responses to stressors can be complex, depending on the ecological …

Salinity is a significant abiotic stress that is steadily increasing in intensity globally. Salinity is
caused by various factors such as use of poor-quality water for irrigation, poor drainage …

Soil salinity is significant abiotic stress that severely limits global crop production. Chickpea
(Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume that plays a substantial role in nutritional …

Background Plants have adapted to survive seasonal life-threatening frost and drought.
However, the timing and frequency of such events are impacted by climate change …

Extreme temperatures at critical developmental phases reduce grain yield. Combinations of
sowing date and cultivar that favour faster development reduce the likelihood of heat stress …

Chickpea growth, development and grain yield are affected by a range of climatic and
environmental factors. Experiments were conducted across four sowing dates from mid-April …

Salinity is a global problem threatening all agriculture lands on the World. The 700 x 10 7 ha
land is arable on the world, of which 150 x 10 7 ha can be cultivated, 34 x 10 7 ha is saline …
