We review approaches to maize breeding for improved drought tolerance during flowering
and grain filling in the central and western US corn belt and place our findings in the context …

The multiple-stress effects on plant physiology and gene expression are being intensively
studied lately, primarily in model plants such as Arabidopsis, where the effects of six …

Drought affects the normal growth and development of soybeans. Melatonin reportedly
alleviates drought stress-induced growth inhibition and plant injury, thus, its foliar application …

Flower or grain abortion causes large yield losses under water deficit. In maize (Zea mays),
it is often attributed to a carbon limitation via the disruption of sucrose cleavage by cell wall …

Increasing frequencies and intensities of drought associated with climate change are
placing great strain on agricultural water availability and crop yields across the globe. Thus …

The dynamics of the Green Leaf Area Index (GLAI) is of great interest for numerous
applications such as yield prediction and plant breeding. We present a high-throughput …

Crop hybrid improvement is an efficient and environmental-friendly option to adapt to climate
change and increase grain production. However, the adaptability of existing hybrids to a …

Background The aim of this study is to compare the tolerance mechanisms of two industrial
tomato varieties (X5671R and 5MX12956) under drought stress. 14 days-old tomato …

Abstract The United States southern and central High Plains including western Kansas are
experiencing declining ground water supplies from the Ogallala as a result of withdrawals …

Abstract Agriculture in Atlantic Canada (AC) is dominated by a rain-fed potato production
system, with potatoes typically rotating with cereal crops such as barley and oats. Under rain …
