Soil biodiversity is threatened by intensive agriculture that relies on annual grain crop
production, thus leading to a decline in soil functions and ecosystem services. Perennial …

Facility agriculture is a modern cultivation system that utilizes certain facilities and
engineering techniques to create a suitable environment for crops growth, which can ensure …

The frequency of abiotic stress impairing wheat root growth and yield production has been
increasing with global warming. Diverse root traits have been widely targeted to improve …

Nitrate is a crucial element for crop growth, and its optimal application is essential for
maximizing agricultural yield. In Iranian agriculture, there is a substantial gap between …

The process of winter bread wheat (WW) nutrient management in the Critical Cereal Window
(CCW) has a decisive impact on yield component formation and, consequently, the grain …

Roots play a key role in withstanding wheat abiotic stress. In this work, we phenotyped
seedling root morphology of two semi-dwarf bread wheat cultivars, the Chinese cv …

The black soil region of northeastern China, one of the world's major black soil belts, is
China's main grain-producing area, producing a quarter of China's commercial grain …

Wheat is one of the major crops in Iran, covering more than 36% of the total croplands and
more than 70% of rainfed farmlands. However, the trend of crop yield in the past decades …

Background: The tiller number is a key agronomic trait for increasing the yield potential of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and key genes …

Changes in the hydrologic regime impose great challenges for grain production. We
investigated the impact of dry and wet extremes on the recent losses of crops in Severo …
