Abiotic stresses such as, drought, heat, salinity, and flooding threaten global food security. Crop genetic improvement with increased resilience to abiotic stresses is a critical component of crop breeding strategies. Wheat is an important cereal crop and a staple food source globally. Enhanced drought tolerance in wheat is critical for sustainable food production and global food security. Rec...

Reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) is an important component of the hydrological cycle that used for water resource planning, irrigation, and agricultural management, as well in other processes. The aim this study was to estimate ETo based on limited meteorological data using artificial neural network (ANN) method. daily minimum temperature (Tmin), maximum (Tmax), mean (Tmean), solar radia...

Precise reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) estimation plays a key role in agricultural fields as it aids the proper operation and management of irrigation scheduling. However, reliable ET0 poses challenge when there is insufficient or incomplete long-term meteorological data at East Coast Economic Region (ECER), Malaysia, where economy highly dependent on production. This study evaluated p...

Multi-sensor remote sensing data fusion technologies have been developed and widely applied in recent years, providing a feasible economical solution to increase the availability of high spatial temporal resolution data. These methods, however, challenging apply highly heterogeneous areas, especially complex agricultural landscapes where there are rapid changes at small scales, while features l...

The genetic diversity of plants has traditionally been employed to improve crop plants to suit human needs, and in the future feed the increasing population and protect crops from environmental stresses and climate change. Genome-wide sequencing is a reality and can be used to make association to crop traits to be utilized by high-throughput marker based selection methods. This study describes ...
