Understanding the genetic basis of seed germination under salt stress as severe abiotic
stress can help in improving barley plant growth performance, production, and productivity …

Drought is a major constraint in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield. The present work
aimed to identify quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs)/candidate genes influencing drought …

Key message Salt tolerance at germination and seedling growth stages was investigated.
GWAS revealed nine genomic regions with pleiotropic effects on salt tolerance. Salt tolerant …

Soil salinity stress causes osmotic/ionic imbalances and induces oxidative stress that
causes cellular structure damage, perturbs metabolism, antioxidant system (comprising …

To counter projected reductions in yields of the major crop barley, it is essential to elucidate
the mechanisms of its resilience. To assist such efforts, we collected grains from plants …

While global climate change poses a significant environmental threat to agriculture, the
increasing population is another big challenge to food security. To address this, developing …

The kynurenine pathway (KP) of tryptophan has been implicated in the pathogenesis of
schizophrenia and its interaction with the immune system has been suggested to play a role …

Water deficit, which is increasing with climate change, is a serious threat to agricultural
sustainability worldwide. Dissection of the genetic architecture of water deficit responses is …
