Drought and heat stress affect global wheat production and food security. Since these climate hazards are expected to increase in frequency and intensity due to anthropogenic climate change, there is a growing need for effective planning and adaptive actions at all timescales relevant to the ...
Abstract Pigeonpea is an important legume crop that has potential resilience in the face of evolving climate scenarios. However, compared to other legumes, there has been limited research on abiotic stress tolerance in pigeonpea, particularly towards drought stress (DS) and heat stress (HS). To ...
The selection of drought-tolerant crops such as sorghum is one of the alternatives to sustain crop productivity and food security. Sorghum generally is a drought-tolerant crop and can grow in different agroclimatic conditions. Due to its agronomic and nutritional advantages and growing consumer ...
Drought is often thought to stimulate flowering in desert, and sometimes in mesic, annuals. I review experimental studies of the effect of drought on flowering time in both desert and mesic annuals. No convincing experimental evidence presently exists that drought stimulates flowering in any annual...
This drought-tolerant garden plan won't require as much watering as thirstier plants. Use this design to create a beautiful garden that will thrive even through dry spells.
results remain incremental. Monsanto and other agricultural companies have drought-tolerant soybeans, cotton, and other crops in the pipeline. Universities are also engaged in intensive research aimed at growing more food with less water. “A more rapid growth in rainfed yield and production could ...
Bayan No.4,Bayou No.9 and Bayou No.6 were sensitive to water with high yield.Jizhangyou No.4 was tolerant to drought and sensitive to water.In addition,the ratio of water to drought could reflect the sensitivity to water and high yield,which was important in drought resistance evaluation....
Heat anddroughtare both significant problems for plants around the world. Drought is the leading cause of agricultural decline and death worldwide. Because all sorts of vegetation are susceptible to drought and heat-related illnesses, these issues threaten food security. Fortunately, drought-tolerant ...

(a drought tolerant landrace from Lebanon) assembled in ICRISAT’s genebank in 1973 and 1974 were found to possess larger root system, while ICC 283 and ICC 1882 are landraces collected from India and assembled in ICRISAT’s genebank in 1974 and 1973, respectively, were found to possess ...
