• Sensitivity of flowering plant gametophytes to temperature fluctuations (2011, background): “…some target oriented works carried out to unveil temperature sensitive stages during plant development have found recurrently that the reproductive proc ss is the most sensitive stage to temperature stress showing a narrow tolerance threshold to temperature fluctuations (Porter and Semenov, 2005).”
• A regional comparison of the effects of climate change on agricultural crops in Europe (2012, background): “…of changes in crop productivity Process-based crop models provide the means to derive information of crop responses to climate and management when experimental data is not available (Lobell and Burke 2010; Iglesias et al. 2000; Porter and Semenov 2005; Steduto et al. 2009; Hansen and Jones 2000).”
• Implications of climate change for diseases, crop yields and food security (2011, background): “Quality is a complex issue involving the whole food chain from growth through storage and processing to cooking and consumption (Porter and Semenov 2005).”
• Implications of climate change for agricultural productivity in the early twenty-first century (2010, background): “(i) Extreme temperatures Recent increases in climate variability may have affected crop yields in countries across Europe since around the mid-1980s (Porter & Semenov 2005) causing higher inter-annual variability in wheat yields.”
• The impact of climate extremes and irrigation on US crop yields (2015, background): “In addition to growing season mean temperature and precipitation affecting yields, studies have suggested increasing climate extremes and variability will affect crop yield and production (Rosenzweig et al 2001, Porter and Semenov 2005).”
• Coating seeds with endophytic fungi enhances growth, nutrient uptake, yield and grain quality of winter wheat (2015, background): “…varies from region to region and especially from year to year, because wheat production is highly sensitive to climatic and environmental variables, in particular changing patterns of precipitation, heat and drought stresses (Porter and Semenov, 2005; Karam et al., 2009; Semenov et al., 2014).”
• Crop modelling for integrated assessment of risk to food production from climate change (2015, background): “…climate variability (Lobell et al., 2011a; Gourdji et al., 2013; Lobell et al., 2013) and increases in mean temperatures for crops now grown at or near their thermal optimal (Porter and Semenov 2005, Hatfield et al., 2011; S anchez et al., 2014) pose an immediate source of risk to food production.”
• Calibration and bias correction of climate projections for crop modelling: An idealised case study over Europe (2013, background): “(5) However, it is vital to appreciate that considering the variabil ty may also be important for climate impacts such as crops (e.g., Semenov ad Porter, 1995; Mearns et al., 1996, 1997; Porter and Semenov, 2005), heat-related mortality (Gosling et al., 2009) or runoff (e.g. Arnell et al., 2003).”
• How do various maize crop models vary in their responses to climate change factors? (2014, background): “For example, crop growth processes such as photosynthesis and respiration may show a non linear response when temperature increases and that may not be adequately represented in all models (Porter & Semenov, 2005).”
• The global spread of crop pests and pathogens (2014, background): “Crops can be bred to tolerate novel conditions (Cattivelli et al., 2008), while localized climatic variability can unexpectedly boost or devastate harvests (Porter & Semenov, 2005; Iizumi et al., 2014).”
• Heat stress responses and thermotolerance (2014, background): “The wheat yield could be limited by the grain number and the grain size, which are established to a large extent at the period around anthesis (flowering), a stage in development known to be sensitive to high temperature stress [96].”
• Effects of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle: concepts, processes and potential future impacts (2015, background): “…is strongly coupled to the timing of the climate extreme, that is the sensitivity of the growth stage of the impacted crop (e.g. van der Velde et al., 2012) and the management actions taken (e.g. Porter & Semenov, 2005; Ramankutty et al., 2008; van der Velde et al., 2010; Lobell et al., 2012).”
• Genetic engineering for modern agriculture: challenges and perspectives. (2010, background): “The increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations will stimulate photosynthesis and possibly lead to increased plant productivity and yields (55, 97, 134).”
• Plant tolerance to high temperature in a changing environment: scientific fundamentals and production of heat stress-tolerant crops (2013, background): “In many temperate cereal crops, both grain weight and grain number appear to be impacted by heat stress, with a decline in grain number directly proportional with increasing temperatures during flowering and grain filling (Porter and Semenov, 2005; Mahmood et al., 2010).”
• Which is a better predictor of plant traits: temperature or precipitation? (2014, neutral): “Relationships between climatic variables and plant traits are not always linear (Porter & Semenov 2005; Poorter et al. 2010).”
