Drought is a major environmental stress threatening wheat productivity worldwide. Global
climate models predict changed precipitation patterns with frequent episodes of drought …

Ambient temperatures have increased since the beginning of the century and are predicted
to continue rising under climate change. Such increases in temperature can cause heat …

Crop models are essential tools for assessing the threat of climate change to local and
global food production. Present models used to predict wheat grain yield are highly …

Water and nitrogen availability limit crop productivity globally more than most other
environmental factors. Plant availability of macronutrients such as nitrate is, to a large extent …

With current annual production at over 600 million tonnes, wheat is the third largest crop in
the world behind corn and rice, and an essential source of carbohydrates for millions of …

As the result of intensive research and breeding efforts over the last 20 years, the yield
potential and yield quality of cereals have been greatly improved. Nowadays, yield safety …

Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is a critically important concept in the evaluation of crop
production systems. It can be greatly impacted by fertilizer management as well as by soil …

Genetic advances in grain yield under rainfed conditions have been achieved by empirical
breeding methods. Progress is slowed, however, by large genotype× season and genotype× …

This review focuses on recent advances in some key areas of wheat physiology, namely
phasic development, determination of potential yield and water-limited potential yield …

Two experiments were conducted on stress-tolerant Suneca and stress-susceptible Batavia
wheat varieties which were grown in pots in a temperature-controlled naturally illuminated …
