Drought stress imposes substantial constraints on the growth and production of wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.), a globally important cereal crop essential for food security. To mitigate …

Background A sufficient nitrogen supply is crucial for high-quality wheat yields. However, the
use of nitrogen fertilization can also negatively influence ecosystems due to leaching or …

In order to increase plants tolerance to drought, the idea of treating them with stress-
protecting compounds exogenously is being considered. In this study, we aimed to evaluate …

Water scarcity is a major environmental stress that adversatively impacts wheat growth,
production, and quality. Furthermore, drought is predicted to be more frequent and severe as …

Local genetic resources could constitute a promising solution to overcome drought stress.
Thus, eight (8) durum wheat landraces and one improved variety were assessed for drought …

Osmotic adjustment (OA) is a major component of drought resistance in crops. The genetic
basis of OA in wheat and other crops remains largely unknown. In this study, 248 field-grown …

The rapid increase in population growth under changing climatic conditions causes drought
stress, threatening world food security. The identification of physiological and biochemical …

In arid and semi-arid regions, coleoptile length is a vital agronomic trait for wheat breeding.
The coleoptile length determines the maximum depth that seeds can be sown, and it is …

Safflower is a highly valued oilseed crop. Safflower oil is a source of monounsaturated and
polyunsaturated fatty acids which are important for a plurality of industries including the …

Drought is a threat to food security and agricultural sustainability in arid and semi-arid
countries. Using wasted silica nanoparticles could minimize water scarcity. A controlled …
