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 …

Maize is one of the most important crops, but its production is threatened by drought stress
worldwide. Thus, increased drought tolerance has been a major goal of maize breeding …

The yield losses in cereal crops because of abiotic stress and the expected huge losses
from climate change indicate our urgent need for useful traits to achieve food security. The …

To study the genetic variability and the genetic basis of nitrogen (N) use efficiency in maize,
a set of recombinant inbred lines crossed with a tester was studied at low input (N–) and …

Comparative analysis of a number of studies in drought‐stressed maize (Zea mays L.)
reporting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for abscisic acid concentration, root characteristics …

A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was evaluated in seven field experiments
representing four environments: water stress at flowering (WS) and well-watered (WW) …

We investigated the overlap among quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in maize for seminal root
traits measured in hydroponics with QTLs for grain yield under well-watered (GY-WW) and …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …

When maize (Zea mays L.) is stressed at flowering because of deficits of water, light,
nutrients, and sometimes by long photoperiods and lack of thermal adaptation, ear growth …

Drought is the single most common cause of severe crop production shortage in developing
countries, and global warming is predicted to further exacerbate drought's impact. This …
