Exploring the multifaceted dynamics of flowering time regulation in field crops: Insight and intervention approaches

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract The flowering time (FTi) plays a critical role in the reproductive success and yield of various crop species by directly impacting both the quality and quantity of grain yield. Achieving optimal FTi is crucial for maximizing reproductive success and ensuring overall agricultural productivity.

Developing improved varieties of pigeonpea [PDF]

, 2018
By 2050 the world population is likely to reach nine billion, with most of the increase in the semi-arid tropics where many of the world’s poor reside. It has been estimated that this will require a 70% increase in food production (Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012).
