Photosynthesis is currently a focus for crop improvement. The majority of this work has taken
place and been assessed in leaves, and limited consideration has been given to the …

Increasing the speed of breeding to enhance crop productivity and adaptation to abiotic
stresses is urgently needed. The perception that a second Green Revolution should be …

Although leaves are considered the main site for photosynthesis, other green nonfoliar
tissues can carry out considerable amounts of photosynthetic carbon assimilation. With …

In recent decades, genetic advances in yield improvement in the major cereal crops,
including wheat, has stagnated or proceeded at a slower rate than is required to meet future …

Small grain cereals such as wheat, rice and barley are among the most important crops
worldwide. Any attempt to increase crop productivity and stability through breeding implies …

Photosynthesis is a major trait of interest for development of high-yield crop plants. However,
little is known about the effects of high-density planting on photosynthetic responses at the …

The deployment of novel technologies in the field of precision farming has risen to the top of
global agendas in response to the impact of climate change and the possible shortage of …

Favorable crop population architecture is the foundation for obtaining high crop yields and
water productivity (WP) under limited irrigation. A field experiment was conducted at Wuqiao …

In order to identify the optimum period of spring water-restrictive irrigation for winter wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) in the Haihe Plain, China and elucidate its effects on flag leaf …

In C3 cereals such as wheat and barley, grain filling was traditionally explained as being
sustained by assimilates from concurrent leaf photosynthesis and remobilization from the …
