Drought stress, caused by lack of precipitation or irrigation, is one of the most challenging
problems in crop production in the US and worldwide. Drought alone affects 45% of the …

Salinity is a consistent factor of crop productivity loss in the world and in particular arid and
semi-arid areas where the soil salinity and saline water are major problems. Plants employ …

Salinity is one of the significant abiotic stresses that negatively affect plant production
processes, growth, and development, which ultimately reduce yield. Plants adapt specific …

In salinized soils in which chloride (Cl−) is the dominant salt anion, growth of plants that
tolerate only low concentrations of salt (glycophytes) is disturbed by Cl− toxicity. Chlorotic …

A spring barley collection of 192 genotypes from a wide geographical range was used to
identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for salt tolerance traits by means of an association …

Abstract According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), droughts have significant
economic, environmental, and social impacts, both direct and indirect. All field crops are …

Main conclusion We projected meta-QTL (MQTL) for drought, salinity, and waterlogging
tolerance to the physical map of barley through meta-analysis. The positions of these MQTL …

Globally, chickpea production is severely affected by salinity stress. Understanding the
genetic basis for salinity tolerance is important to develop salinity tolerant chickpeas. A …

Soil salinity is a serious threat to agriculture sustainability worldwide. Salt tolerance at the
seedling stage is crucial for plant establishment and high yield in saline soils; however, little …

Climate change has caused breeders to focus on varieties that are able to grow under
unfavorable conditions, such as drought, high and low temperatures, salinity, and other …
