The frequency and intensity of high‐temperature stress events are expected to increase as
climate change intensifies. Concomitantly, an increase in evaporative demand, driven in part …

Water deficit under nearly all field conditions is the major constraint on plant yields. Other
than empirical observations, very little progress has been made in developing crop plants in …

Stay‐green is an integrated drought adaptation trait characterized by a distinct green leaf
phenotype during grain filling under terminal drought. We used sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) …

The water deficit experienced by crops is a function of atmospheric water demand (vapor
pressure deficit) and soil water supply over the whole crop cycle. We summarize typical …

The regulation of plant transpiration was proposed as a key factor affecting transpiration
efficiency and agronomical adaptation of wheat to water-limited Mediterranean …

Temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) are two important environmental factors
influencing stomatal conductance and transpiration. A limited transpiration rate (TRlim) trait …

Abstract Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] grain yield is severely affected by abiotic
and biotic stresses during post-flowering stages, which has been aggravated by climate …

Abstract Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] yield loss due to terminal drought stress is
common in semiarid regions. Stay‐green is a drought adaptation trait, and a deeper …

Selection criteria that co-optimize water use efficiency and yield are needed to promote plant
productivity in increasingly challenging and variable drought scenarios, particularly dryland …

Abstract Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is commonly grown in water-limited
environments throughout the world. Plant traits could be useful allowing for early-season …
