Enhanced grain yield has been achieved in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) through
development and cultivation of superior genotypes incorporating yield-related agronomic …

Frequent waterlogging events have severely constrained wheat production in the middle
and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China (YR). Understanding the effects of …

Three selection methods including direct and indirect selection along with selection index
based on the phenotypic values of eleven traits of agronomic interest were assessed for …

A high-quality population structure is the basis for the efficient utilization of light energy by
plants. Irrigation strongly influences wheat type and canopy structure. The objective of this …

Genetic improvements for yield-component traits in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have
resulted in substantial contributions to wheat yield increases globally. Conversely, yield …

Both the temperate-humid zone and the southern part of the Mediterranean climate region of
Chile are characterized by high wheat productivity. Study objectives were to analyze the …

Using high-yielding cultivars is an important measure to maintain grain production,
especially in dryland environments. A field study in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons was …

An infrared thermometer was first used to assess drought and heat tolerance in plant
breeding more than 40 years ago. Soon afterward, this method became widely used …

Climate-resilient wheat genotype plays a crucial role in food and nutritional security of the
world. The production of wheat is mainly limited by abiotic stresses such as heat stress and …

Understanding the key characteristics associated with genetic progress is essential to future
wheat breeding strategies. Our objectives were to investigate the genetic progress in grain …
