Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

Trehalose (Tre) is a non-reducing disaccharide found in many species, including bacteria,
fungi, invertebrates, yeast, and even plants, where it acts as an osmoprotectant, energy …

Climate change is shifting the growing seasons of plants, affecting species performance and
biogeochemical cycles. Yet how the timing of autumn leaf senescence in Northern …

Because of global warming, Earth's ecosystems have been experiencing more frequent and
severe heatwaves. Heatwaves are expected to tip terrestrial carbon sequestration by …

Source traits are currently of great interest for the enhancement of yield potential; for
example, much effort is being expended to find ways of modifying photosynthesis. However …

Shifts in plant phenology regulate ecosystem structure and function, which feeds back to the
climate system. However, drivers for the peak of growing season (POS) in seasonal …

The growth of yield outputs is dwindling after the first green revolution, which cannot meet
the demand for the projected population increase by the mid-century, especially with the …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important food crop that belongs to family Gramineae and needs
a larger amount of water to complete its life cycle as compared to other crops. Hence, rice …

Climate change poses a significant threat to agriculture. However, climatic trends and their
impact on Mississippi (MS) maize (Zea mays L.) are unknown. The objectives were to:(i) …

Canopy greening, which is associated with significant canopy structure changes, is the most
notable signal of ecosystem changes in response to anthropogenic climate change …
