Beating cold by being tough: impact of elevation on leaf characteristics in Phleum himalaicum Mez. endemic to Himalaya
Effect of altitude on leaf responses in Phleum himalaicum populations was evaluated at three different elevation levels, viz. (Low 1200 m.a.s.l.), middle (1600 m a.s.l.) and high (1900 m a.s.l.) in western part o...

Gas exchanges and yield responses of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) genotypes differing in flooding tolerance
Flooding-induced changes in leaf gas exchanges, grain yield, and yield-related parameters of mungbean were evaluated employing two flood-tolerant (GK48 and VC3945A) and one flood-susceptible (Vo1982A-G) genoty...

Grain Growth and Yield Performance of Wheat under Subtropical Conditions: I. Effect of Sowing Dates
The optimum sowing time of wheat in subtropical countries like Bangladesh lies between mid-November to mid-December. Wheat is usually sown after transplanted summer rice (aman rice). Due to various reasons sum...
