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 …

While an adequate supply of food can be achieved at present for the current global
population, sustaining this into the future will be difficult in the face of a steadily increasing …

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 …

Better understanding of root system structure and function is critical to crop improvement in
water-limited environments. The aims of this study were to examine root system …

This review focuses on recent advances in some key areas of wheat physiology, namely
phasic development, determination of potential yield and water-limited potential yield …

Genetic improvement of crop yields under potential (Yp) and water scarce conditions (Yw)
will be an important avenue to improved food security over the next four decades, at the end …

Increasing photosynthesis in wheat has been identified as an approach to enhance crop
yield, with manipulation of key genes involved in electron transport and the Calvin cycle as …

Increasing severity of high temperature worldwide presents an alarming threat to the
humankind. As evident by massive yield losses in various food crops, the escalating adverse …

This study examines genotype× organ–temperature depression (TD) interactions and
whether differences in plant morphology influence organ-TD and its correlation with canopy …

Source traits are currently of great interest for the enhancement of yield potential; for
example, much effort is being expended to find ways of modifying photosynthesis. However …
