An increase in temperature and extreme heat stress is responsible for the global reduction in
maize yield. Heat stress affects the integrity of the plasma membrane functioning of …

Drought stress has severely hampered maize production, affecting the livelihood and
economics of millions of people worldwide. In the future, as a result of climate change …

Implementing the deficit irrigation pattern has become a major strategy in crop production
systems. However, using less water than is required to irrigate crops is associated with …

Genotype× environment (GE) interaction effect is one of the major challenges in identifying
cultivars with stable performance across environments and years. Objective of the present …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main cereals grown around the world. It is used for human

Simple Summary Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are rhizosphere-inhabiting
eco-friendly bacteria that indirectly/directly enhance plant growth and development and are …

Extreme climate events can have a significant negative impact on maize productivity,
resulting in food scarcity and socioeconomic losses. Thus, quantifying their effect is needed …

Genotypic difference in nitrogen responsiveness of maize grain yield has gained
considerable attention, however, the underlying physiological mechanism is less …

Salinity and drought are two major abiotic stresses challenging global crop production and
food security. In this study, the effects of individual and combined effects of drought (at …

Abiotic stresses, including drought, extreme temperatures, salinity, and waterlogging, are the
major constraints in crop production. These abiotic stresses are likely to be amplified by …
