This study aimed to identify the genetic control of morphological, water status, and root traits
in four inbred lines and their pre-selected hybrid combinations of popcorn, and to identify the …

To ensure genetic gains in popcorn breeding programs carried out under drought conditions
knowledge about the response of morphophysiological traits of plants to water stress for the …

Soil water limitations can cause high losses in agricultural yields. In order to investigate how
popcorn varieties are affected by reduced water availability, we evaluated grain yield (GY) …

The objective of this study was to estimate the direct and indirect effects of agricultural,
morphological, physiological, and root traits of popcorn lines, under two conditions of water …

Low rainfall rates are becoming increasingly frequent because of climate change, causing
droughts and threatening world food security. For popcorn, drought is the most limiting …

The identification of traits associated with drought tolerance in popcorn is a contribution to
support selection of superior plants under soil water deficit. The objective of this study was to …

Developing popcorn genotypes that are adapted to water-deficit conditions is crucial due to
the significant impact of this abiotic stress on grain yield. This study aimed to assess the …

The search for productive germplasm adapted to adverse conditions is an important action
to mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. The aim was to identify the yield potential of …

Drought is a common abiotic stress in tropical and subtropical regions that limits the growth
and development of agricultural crops, mainly impacting grain yield. Acting through plant …

Climate change is expected to intensify water restriction to crops, impacting on the yield
potential of crops such as popcorn. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of 10 field …
