Heat stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the growth and yield-related
characters of wheat. Using various genetic approaches we can develop heat tolerant wheat …

Extreme temperatures, drought, salinity and soil pollution are the most common types of
abiotic stresses crops can encounter in fields; these variations represent a general warning …

Since the dawn of agriculture, crop yield has always been impaired through abiotic stresses.
In a field trial across five locations worldwide, we tested three abiotic stresses, nitrogen …

Drought impairs growth and spike development, and is therefore a major cause of yield
losses in the temperate cereals barley and wheat. Here, we show that the photoperiod …

Barley is one of the most important cereals worldwide and is a key crop for Scotland's
agriculture due to its use in distilleries to produce whisky. Climatic variability, especially …

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of drought stress at start of anthesis
(applied by adjusting the field capacities at 100, 50 and 30%) on barley growth, grain filling …

The timing of plant reproduction has a large impact on yield in crop plants. Reproductive
development in temperate cereals comprises two major developmental transitions. During …

Drought stress can occur at any growth stage and can affect crop productivity, which can
result in large yield losses all over the world. In this respect, understanding the genetic …

Soil salinity severely affects and constrains crop production worldwide. Salinity causes
osmotic and ionic stress, inhibiting gas exchange and photosynthesis, ultimately impairing …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces collected previously from main production areas
across Jordan are expected to perform well under stressful environments. In this study, the …
