Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

Increased periods of water shortage and higher temperatures, together with a reduction in
nutrient availability, have been proposed as major factors that negatively impact plant …

Abstract Background Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important dry-land
cereal of the world providing food, fodder, feed and fuel. Stay-green (delayed-leaf …

The present study was carried out with the aim of (i) evaluating the effect of chitosan (CTS)
on the growth of durum wheat under salinity and (ii) examining CTS-regulated mechanisms …

Wheat is the most important cereal crop in the world. It contributes as a major source of
protein and calories in the daily human diet. Drought has become a major abiotic stress that …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield is directly proportional to physio-morphological traits. A
high-density genetic map consisting of 2575 markers was used for mapping QTL controlling …

Three Ethyl methansulphonate (EMS)-induced stay-green mutants (SGM-1, SGM-2 and
SGM-3) and their wild-type (WT), were tested for their Stay-Green (SG) and drought …

Key message This study identified QTLs associated with the functional stay green trait by a
high-density genetic map. Two large effect QTLs, QSg. sau-2B. 1 and QSg. sau-6A. 2, were …

WN6 (a stay-green wheat cultivar) and JM20 (control) were used to evaluate the effects of
exogenous cytokinin on photosynthetic capacity and antioxidant enzymes activities in flag …

Photosynthesis is the most important source of dry matter production directly influencing
grain filling in wheat. Croatian winter wheat varieties,'Vulkan'and 'Golubica'have similar …
