Drought stress presents a considerable threat to the global crop production. As a dominant
source of vegetarian diet, cereals and grain-legumes remain crucial to meeting the growing …

Leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf development, is crucial for plant fitness as it
enhances nutrient reutilization, supporting reproductive success and overall plant …

In nature, plants are frequently exposed to various abiotic stresses such as drought, extreme
temperatures, submergence, high salt levels, heavy metals, mineral deficiency, and toxicity …

Abstract “Stay-green” plants retain green leaf area longer after flowering than senescent
types. This can prolong carbon assimilation during grain filling, increasing yield, particularly …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), a very important grain crop in China, has become a new model
plant for cereal crops and biofuel grasses. Although its reference genome sequence was …

Flag leaf senescence is a critical factor affecting the yield and quality of wheat. The aim of
this study was to identify QTLs associated with flag leaf senescence in an F10 recombinant …

To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs), a large F 2 population in foxtail millet including 543
plants from a cross between Aininghuang and Jingu 21 was used to construct a high-density …

Introduction: Abiotic stresses significantly reduce crop yield by adversely affecting many
physio-biochemical processes. Several physiological traits have been targeted and …

A segregating F4 population from the cross between drought sensitive (Yecora Rojo) and
drought tolerant (Pavon 76) genotypes was made to identify molecular markers linked to a …

Increasing photosynthetic efficiency is important in improving plant productivity.
Photosynthetic efficiency is still not exploited to its fullest potential for maximizing carbon …
