By virtue of its higher genetic diversity, maize has better adaptability to various climatic
situations and has high yield potential than other cereals. However, the incidence of pests …

Abiotic constraints resulting from climate changes have widespread yield reducing effects on
all field crops and therefore should receive high priority for crop breeding research …

Tolerance to abiotic stress is an important agronomic trait in crops and is controlled by many
genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs). As abiotic stresses significantly affect grain yield, it is …

Global climate change leads to the concurrence of a number of abiotic stresses including
moisture stress (drought, waterlogging), temperature stress (heat, cold), and salinity stress …

Abiotic and biotic constraints have widespread yield reducing effects on maize and should
receive high priority for maize breeding research. Molecular Breeding offers opportunities for …

In the erratic climate-changing scenario, various biotic (insect/pests and diseases) and
abiotic stresses (drought, heat, salinity, and waterlogging) threaten the global food security …

Abiotic stresses are a potential threat to global food security commonly induced by moisture
and temperature stresses, key reason for maize yield losses. Maize is the third most …

The genetic basis of tolerance to abiotic stresses, ie the major constraints to maize
production, is poorly understood. The utilization of molecular markers and genomics …

Biotic stresses significantly limit global crop production. Identification and use of resistant
cultivars is currently seen as the best strategy, cheapest, durable and environmentally …

Advances in genomics research have led to the development of high-quality reference
genome data, genome-wide molecular markers, quantitative trait loci (QTL), and high …
