Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world as it is used in the production of
a diverse range of traditional and modern processed foods. The ancient varieties einkorn …

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 …

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 …

To determine root growth and grain yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) under
moderate drought stress, a nursery experiment and a field trial were conducted with or …

In this major 1993 work, Lloyd Evans provides an integrated view of the domestication,
adaptation and improvement of crop plants, bringing together genetic diversity, plant …

This review reports on the processes associated with carbon transfer and metabolism in
leaves and growing organs and the role of long‐distance transport and vascular links in the …

Competitive crop cultivars offer a potentially cheap option to include in integrated weed
management strategies (IWM). Although cultivars with high competitive potential have been …

Knowledge of the changes in physiological traits associated with genetic gains in yield
potential is essential to improve understanding of yield‐limiting factors and to inform future …

A field experiment was conducted for 3 consecutive years to study the effects of water deficit
on yield, water productivity and net return of wheat. Yield attributes were affected by deficit …

The many selection criteria that have been proposed to increase drought resistance of our
crops have had little, if any, impact on improving crop yields in dry environments. There are …
