The production and quality of wheat are affected by abiotic constraints including water stress
and soil nutrient deficiencies. It is imperative to develop drought-tolerant wheat varieties with …

Drought stress is an alarming threat to food security in the climate change scenario. This
study was conducted to evaluate the potential of strigolactone for drought tolerance in maize …

This study aimed at evaluating the expected gains from selection obtained based upon
direct, indirect, and index-based selection in a set of 599 bread wheat lines. The experiment …

Wheat is one of the most important sources of food worldwide. A selection index helps in
making selection decisions and permits the exploitation of information on correlated traits to …

Two cycles of pedigree selection for grain yield/plant (GY/P) and grain weight (GW)(100-
grain weight) were imposed under drought stress and normal irrigation to study the direct …

Breeders need a simple and reliable index that could be used to make selection quickly in a
breeding program. A study was conducted at the International Institute of Tropical …

Maintaining genetic diversity and aggregate traits selection in medicinal plants improves
selection efficiency and provides the flexibility to adapt environmental stresses. The present …

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) yield is strongly influenced by environmental
conditions. Average seed yield can decrease to a great extent when drought conditions …

The genetic materials were F2, F3, F4 and F5 generations of the cross “Giza164/Sids4” of
bread wheat. The experiments were conducted under drought stress and normal irrigation …

Wheat grain yield decreases by 1.50% per day with a subsequent delay in optimum sowing
and the crop becomes vulnerable to numerous abiotic and biotic stresses. However, climate …
