Transpiration increases under high‐temperature stress: Potential mechanisms, trade‐offs and prospects for crop resilience in a warming world
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 …

Drought and high temperature stress in sorghum: Physiological, genetic, and molecular insights and breeding approaches
Sorghum is one of the staple crops for millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and
South Asia (SA). The future climate in these sorghum production regions is likely to have …

Transpiration efficiency: new insights into an old story
Producing more food per unit of water has never been as important as it is at present, and
the demand for water by economic sectors other than agriculture will necessarily put a great …

Effective use of water in crop plants in dryland agriculture: implications of reactive oxygen species and antioxidative system
Under dryland conditions, annual and perennial food crops are exposed to dry spells,
severely affecting crop productivity by limiting available soil moisture at critical and sensitive …
