Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is the sixth most important cereal crop after rice,
wheat, maize, barley and sorghum. It is widely grown on 30 million ha in the arid and semi …

The frequency and intensity of high‐temperature stress events are expected to increase as
climate change intensifies. Concomitantly, an increase in evaporative demand, driven in part …

Drought stress (DS) is a serious abiotic stress and a major concern across the globe as its
intensity is continuously climbing. Therefore, it is direly needed to develop new management …

In this paper, we describe the thought process and initial data behind the development of an
imaging platform (LeasyScan) combined with lysimetric capacity, to assess canopy traits …

Sustainable crop production is the major challenge in the current global climate change
scenario. Drought stress is one of the most critical abiotic factors which negatively impact …

Water deficit under nearly all field conditions is the major constraint on plant yields. Other
than empirical observations, very little progress has been made in developing crop plants in …

The C4 grass pearl millet is one of the most drought tolerant cereals and is primarily grown
in marginal areas where annual rainfall is low and intermittent. It was domesticated in sub …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a C4 crop cultivated for its grain and stover in
crop-livestock-based rain-fed farming systems of tropics and subtropics in the Indian …

Water deficit is the main yield-limiting factor across the Asian and African semiarid tropics
and a basic consideration when developing crop cultivars for water-limited conditions is to …

Abstract Background Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a widely cultivated
drought-and high-temperature tolerant C4 cereal grown under dryland, rainfed and irrigated …
