Climate change is a long-lasting change in the weather arrays across tropics to polls. It is a
global threat that has embarked on to put stress on various sectors. This study is aimed to …

In agricultural cropping systems, relatively large amounts of nitrogen (N) are applied for
plant growth and development, and to achieve high yields. However, with increasing N …

Wheat yield is frequently analysed in terms of yield components (spikes per m 2, grains per
spike, grain size), and correlations between components are commonly reported, but …

Terminal drought stress during grain filling period has recently become more common in the
semiarid Mediterranean regions, where wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is grown as an …

To quantify the genetic gain in yield and associated changes in phenotype, we compared 13
South Australian wheat varieties released between 1958 and 2007. Crops were grown in …

Grain size is a key yield component of cereal crops and a major quality attribute. It is
determined by a genotype's genetic potential and its capacity to fill the grains. This study …

Raising crop yield potential is a major goal to ensure food security for the growing global
population. Photosynthesis is the primary determinant of crop productivity and any gain in …

Further improvements in wheat yields are critical, for which increases in grain number would
be required. In the recent past, higher grain number was achieved through increased growth …

Predictions of global increased temperature are for 1.8–4° C by 2100. Increased
temperature as an abiotic stress may exert a considerable influence on the levels of …

Seed development is an intricate process regulated via a complex transcriptional regulatory
network. To understand the molecular mechanisms governing seed development and seed …
