Considering their key role in fulfilling a major portion of the global food needs, grain crops are the most widely grown crops around the world. Unfortunately, like many other agronomic crops, grain crops are quite vulnerable to climate change and this has posed multifaceted threats to agricultural sustainability. To add to the menace, the deteriorating quantity and quality of both land and water as primary factors of production are further aggravating the scenario. Confronting such challenges demands innovative adaptation strategies through intensification of grain crop production that can ensure grain self-sufficiency worldwide.Cereal productsCrop improvementCropsPhysiologyCereal products.Crop improvement.CropsPhysiology.664.7Shah Farooq1365779Khan Zafar1365780Iqbal Amjad1365781Turan Metin1365782Olgun Murat1365783MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910688312503321Recent Advances in Grain Crops Research3387959UNINA
