Breeding crop plants with increased yield potential and improved tolerance to stressful
environments is critical for global food security. Drought stress (DS) adversely affects …

Wheat is one of the world's most commonly consumed cereal grains. During abiotic stresses,
the physiological and biochemical alterations in the cells reduce growth and development of …

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 …

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

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 …

As crop yields are pushed closer to biophysical limits, achieving yield gains becomes
increasingly challenging and will require more insight into deterministic pathways to yields …

Most of the required increases in food production over the next decades are expected to be
achieved through increases in crop yield. As wheat is essential for food security it is worrying …

Representative, broad and diverse collections are a primary resource to dissect genetic
diversity and meet pre-breeding and breeding goals through the identification of beneficial …

Despite being the world's most widely grown crop, research investments in wheat (Triticum
aestivum and Triticum durum) fall behind those in other staple crops. Current yield gains will …

Context Continuing to raise the potential yield of wheat through breeding is essential for
global food security. Past progress has largely been associated with greater grains/m 2 …
