Increasing global population and climate change uncertainties have compelled increased
photosynthetic efficiency and yields to ensure food security over the coming decades …

Drought is the main abiotic constraint on cereal yield. Analysing physiological determinants
of yield responses to water may help in breeding for higher yield and stability under drought …

A rising human population and changing patterns of land use mean that world food
production rates will need to be increased by at least 50% by 2050, a massive rise in …

Increasing the photosynthesis rate of plants has been recently revitalized as an approach for
increasing grain crop yields and solving world food crises. The idea that photosynthesis is …

The present paper focuses on the physiology of yield potential in wheat (Triticum aestivum
L.), because breeding progress in yield potential has overtaken farm yield progress. The …

Photosynthesis drives plant physiology, biomass accumulation, and yield. Photosynthetic
efficiency, specifically the operating efficiency of PSII (F q'/F m'), is highly responsive to …

Wheat is the most widely grown cereal in temperate environments, and is also cultivated in
many tropical cropping systems, where it is often grown as the winter season crop in rotation …

The objective of this study was to characterize physiologically wheat cultivars released in
different decades and identify selection criteria for the continued genetic progress in Brazil …

Water availability is a key limiting factor in wheat production in the northern grain belt of
Australia. Varieties with improved adaptation to such conditions are actively sought. The …

Net photosynthetic rate (An), stomatal conductance (gs), chlorophyll content and dark
respiration rate were measured on 16 wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.), grown in …
