Climate change is a major threat to most of the agricultural crops grown in tropical and sub-
tropical areas globally. Drought stress is one of the consequences of climate change that …

Heat stress (HS) is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the production and quality of
wheat. Rising temperatures are particularly threatening to wheat production. A detailed …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

In recent years, with climate change, drought stress has been witnessed in many parts of the
world. In many irrigated regions also, shortage of water supply allows only limited irrigation …

A meta-analysis of QTLs associated with grain protein content (GPC) was conducted in
hexaploid and tetraploid wheat to identify robust and stable meta-QTLs (MQTLs). For this …

Background Drought stress limits the production of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], which
is the most grown high-value legume crop worldwide. Breeding for drought tolerance is a …

Crown rot of wheat and barley is a serious disease caused by the fungus Fusarium
pseudograminearum, a stubble-borne pathogen common in no-till farming systems in water …

The ever-rising population of the twenty-first century together with the prevailing challenges,
such as deteriorating quality of arable land and water, has placed a big challenge for plant …

Identification of markers associated with major physiological and yield component traits
under moisture deficit stress conditions in preferred donor lines paves the way for marker …

Temperatures that extend beyond normal levels of tolerance cause severe stress to plants,
