sustaining irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) production. Despite the technologies developed to …

Currently, numerous challenges such as excessive irrigation water consumption, labor
shortage, lower economic and environmental benefits pose serious threats to rice cultivation …

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) …

The rhizosphere fungal community affects the ability of crops to acquire nutrients and their
susceptibility to pathogen invasion. However, the effects of rice domestication on the …

Low rainfall combined with heat stress during grain filling can cause a severe threat to maize
production. Compared to individual stress, the impact of combined stressors on plant …

Roots enable the plant to survive in the natural environment by providing anchorage and
acquisition of water and nutrients. In this study, root architectural traits of 153 mungbean …

Rice yield reduction due to water limitation depends on its severity and duration and on the
phenological stage of its occurrence. We exposed three contrasting rice genotypes, IR64 …

Water‐saving attempts for rice cultivation often reduce yields. Maintaining productivity under
drought is possible when rice genotypes are bred with improved metabolism and spikelet …

Extreme temperatures are considered one of the main constraints that limit the growth and
development of rice. We elucidated the root and shoot developmental plasticity of 64 rice …
