The frequency and intensity of high‐temperature stress events are expected to increase as
climate change intensifies. Concomitantly, an increase in evaporative demand, driven in part …

Drought limits crop productivity and threatens global food security, with moderate drought
stress—when crops grow at a reduced rate—commonly experienced. Increasing plant …

Producing more food per unit of water has never been as important as it is at present, and
the demand for water by economic sectors other than agriculture will necessarily put a great …

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

Roots have long been proposed as a major avenue of research to improve crop adaptation
to water limitations. The simple assumption is that deeper and more profuse root systems …

In this paper, we describe the thought process and initial data behind the development of an
imaging platform (LeasyScan) combined with lysimetric capacity, to assess canopy traits …

Aims In the face of problems caused by 'intensive agriculture'dominated by large areas of
monocultures, mixed intercropping mimicking natural ecosystems has been reported to …

To test the hypothesis that multiple integrated root phenotypes would co-optimize drought
tolerance, we phenotyped the root anatomy and architecture of 400 mature maize (Zea …

High temperature and water deficit are among the major limitations reducing lentil (Lens
culinaris Medik.) yield in many growing regions. In addition, increasing atmospheric vapor …

Light, temperature, water, and fertilizer are arguably the most important environmental
factors regulating crop growth and productivity. Environmental stimuli, including low light …
