Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
Leaf Expansion and Transpiration Response to Soil Drying and Recovery among Cowpea Genotypes
Sensitivity of leaf expansion to water-defcit conditions could have a major infuence on C assimilation rate and water loss rate under developing drought conditions. While cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is commonly grown in ...
Leaf emergence (phyllochron index) and leaf expansion response to soil drying in cowpea genotypes
Drought can result in severely decreased leaf area development, which impacts plant growth and
yield. However, rarely is leaf emergence or leaf expansion separated to resolve the relative sensitivity
to water-deficit of ...
