Heat stress is a major abiotic limitation in semi-arid and subtropical climates. It causes significant production losses for wheat, a major grain crop, of about 6% for every °C that temperatures rise. Terminal heat stress is a major cause of decreased productivity when the grain-...

Water footprints (WFs) of rice are quite higher viz. 992 billion cubic metres per year (Gm3 yr−1) than from the other cereals which further responsible for the lower water productivity. Out of global WFs for crop production viz. 7404 Gm3 yr−1 corresponds to 78 % green, 12 % blue,...
