In the past, there have been drought events in different parts of the world, which have
negatively influenced the productivity and production of various crops including wheat …

Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world as it is used in the production of
a diverse range of traditional and modern processed foods. The ancient varieties einkorn …

Rht‐B1b and Rht‐D1b, the 'Green Revolution'(GR) genes, greatly improved yield potential of
wheat under nitrogen fertilizer application, but reduced coleoptile length, seedling vigor and …

One of the most chronic constraints to crop production is the grain yield reduction near the
crop harvest stage by lodging worldwide. This is more prevalent in cereal crops, particularly …

Abstract 'Drought'has many meanings in relation to crop production. These range from:
statistical (say, the lowest decile of annual rainfall) to a meteorologist; through yield being …

Increases in the yield of wheat during the Green Revolution of the late 20th century were
achieved through the introduction of Reduced height (Rht) dwarfing genes. The Rht‐B1 and …

The introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semidwarfing genes led to
impressive increases in wheat (Triticum aestivum) yields during the Green Revolution. The …

Breeding for drought tolerance in grain crops is not a generic issue. Periods of drought vary
in length, timing and intensity and different traits are important with different types of drought …

This review deals with improving the performance of dryland crops in dry, mainly semiarid,
environments. Although such crops are often limited by water, the development of the notion …

Wheat yields are threatened by global warming and unreliable rainfall, which increase heat
and drought stress. A potential adaptation strategy is to sow earlier and deeper, taking …
