Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

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 …

Wheat is the most widely grown crop globally, providing 20% of all human calories and
protein. Achieving step changes in genetic yield potential is crucial to ensure food security …

Achieving the combination of high water use efficiency (WUE) and high yield is very
important for the sustainable development of wheat production in the North China Plain …

Recycling of livestock manure in agroecosystems has been shown to improve crop yields,
increase resource use efficiency, and reduce adverse environmental consequences from …

Physiological bases of Mediterranean wheat yield improvements have been less explored
than in other regions, particularly so during the period following the Green Revolution. Due …

In winter wheat, grain development is asynchronous. The grain number and grain weight
vary significantly at different spikelet and grain positions among wheat cultivars grown at …

Key message Wild emmer allele of GNI-A1 ease competition among developing grains
through the suppression of floret fertility and increase grain weight in tetraploid wheat …

Genetic improvements have significantly contributed to wheat production. Five wheat
cultivars—widely grown in north China in the 1950s, 1990s, or 2010s—were grown in field …

Thousand grain weight is one of the components determining wheat grain yield. It
represents the average value of individual grain weights which depends on position within …
