The persistence and productivity of forage grasses, important sources for feed production,
are threatened by climate change-induced drought. Breeding programs are in search of new …

Screening for drought tolerance is critical to ensure high biomass production of bioenergy
sorghum in arid or semi-arid environments. The bottleneck in drought tolerance selection is …

Drought stress is one of the key plant stresses reducing grain yield in cereal crops
worldwide. Although it is not a breeding target in Northern Europe, the changing climate and …

Farmers can benefit from growing drought tolerant peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars
with improved yield when rainfall is sporadic. In the Virginia-Carolina (VC) region, drought is …

Flowering and grain-filling stages are highly sensitive to heat and drought stress exposure,
leading to significant loss in crop yields. Therefore, phenotyping to enhance resilience to …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) present an exciting opportunity to monitor crop fields with
high spatial and temporal resolution remote sensing capable of improving water stress …

High-throughput phenotyping platforms (HTPPs) provide novel opportunities to more
effectively dissect the genetic basis of drought-adaptive traits. This genome-wide association …

Accurately monitoring the crop water conditions (CWC) is vital for agricultural water
management. Traditional in situ measurements are limited by inefficiency and lack of spatial …

Poplars are fast-growing, high-yielding forest tree species, whose cultivation as second-
generation biofuel crops is of increasing interest and can efficiently meet emission reduction …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with multi-sensors are one of the most
innovative technologies for measuring plant health and predicting final yield in field …
