TL;DR: The data show that the Desi chickpea cultivars can serve as a significant source of essential amino acids, essential fatty acids and trace minerals to meet the demand of populations living in Punjab Province of Pakistan.

TL;DR: In this article, the uncertainty associated with projected climate change impacts on cotton yield in Punjab, Pakistan using 29 general circulation models (GCMs) under high and moderate representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios (4.5 and 8.5) at near-term (2010-2039) and mid-century (2040-2069) time spans.

TL;DR: In this scenario, food security can be ensured by improving cereal production through agronomic management, breeding of climate-adapted genotypes and increasing genetic biodiversity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that earlier late sowing and shifts of cultivars requiring high total growing degree day during 1980–2014, have partially mitigated the negative impact of climate change on phenology of both spring and autumn grown maize.

TL;DR: To mitigate climate change impacts, new cultivars for RWS should be introduced that require higher growing degree days and have a high temperature tolerance.
