Crop production systems need to expand their outputs sustainably to feed a burgeoning
human population. Advances in genome sequencing technologies combined with efficient …

Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

Climate change threatens global food and nutritional security through negative effects on
crop growth and agricultural productivity. Many countries have adopted ambitious climate …

The current pace of crop improvement is inadequate to feed the burgeoning human
population by 2050. Higher, more stable, and sustainable crop production is required …

Salinity stress adversely affects plant growth and causes considerable losses in cereal
crops. Salinity stress tolerance is a complex phenomenon, imparted by the interaction of …

Agricultural production faces a Herculean challenge to feed the increasing global
population. Food production systems need to deliver more with finite land and water …

To match predicted population growth, annual food production should be doubled by 2050.
