Wheat production and productivity are challenged by recurrent droughts associated with
climate change globally. Drought and heat stress resilient cultivars can alleviate yield loss in …

Plant breeding for belowground traits that have a positive impact on the rhizosphere
microbiome is a promising strategy to sustainably improve crop yields. Root architecture and …

Nutrients are essential for optimal growth and development of plants. Nutrient availability
and composition in the soil varies largely from region to region. The deficiency of essential …

Crop yields must increase to meet the demands of a growing world population. Soil
salinization is increasing due to the impacts of climate change, reducing the area of arable …

The growing world population and global increases in the standard of living both result in an
increasing demand for food, feed and other plant‐derived products. In the coming years …

Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

This open-access textbook provides a comprehensive, up-to-date guide for students and
practitioners wishing to access in a single volume the key disciplines and principles of wheat …

Roots are essential multifunctional plant organs involved in water and nutrient uptake,
metabolite storage, anchorage, mechanical support, and interaction with the soil …

Wheat, an essential crop for global food security, is well adapted to a wide variety of soils.
However, the gene networks shaping different root architectures remain poorly understood …

Source traits are currently of great interest for the enhancement of yield potential; for
example, much effort is being expended to find ways of modifying photosynthesis. However …
