In the coming decades, maintaining a steady food supply for the increasing world population
will require high-yielding crop plants which can be productive under increasingly variable …

Climate change is a major threat to most of the agricultural crops grown in tropical and sub-
tropical areas globally. Drought stress is one of the consequences of climate change that …

Understanding the genetic complexity of traits is an important objective of small grain
temperate cereals yield and adaptation improvements. Bi-parental quantitative trait loci …

Seed germination is one of the most important biological processes in the life cycle of plants,
and temperature and water are the two most critical environmental factors that influence …

Maize is known to be susceptible to drought stress, which negatively affects vegetative
growth and biomass production, as well as the formation of reproductive organs and yield …

Seed germination is considered the beginning of the spermatophyte lifecycle, and it is a
crucial stage in determining subsequent plant growth and development. Although many …

The germination of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds is affected by drought stress;
however, little is known about the physiological mechanism affecting germination and the …

There is a pressing need to improve climate-resilient crops as a consequence of
increasingly erratic climatic behavior that threatens global food security. Current scientific …

Waterlogging is one of the main abiotic stresses severely reducing barley grain yield. Barley
breeding programs focusing on waterlogging tolerance require an understanding of genetic …

Understanding the genetic basis of seed germination under salt stress as severe abiotic
stress can help in improving barley plant growth performance, production, and productivity …
