Abiotic environmental stresses negatively impact crop productivity and are major constraints
to global food security. As a consequence of global change, certain stress factors such as …

Nitrogen fertilizer represents a significant cost of production for the grower and may also
have environmental impacts through nitrate leaching, use of fossil fuels for manufacture and …

Prediction of crop yield and quality is an essential component of successful implementation
of precision agriculture. Given the recent commercialization of low-cost multispectral …

Our objective was to investigate the determinants of genetic variation in N accumulation, N
partitioning and N remobilization to the grain post-flowering and associations with flag-leaf …

Dry matter and N accumulated by winter wheat (Triticum spp.) plants until anthesis are of
importance under a Mediterranean climate because yield greatly depends on translocation …

The influence of crop density on the remobilization of dry matter and nitrogen from
vegetative plant parts to the developing grain, was investigated in the durum wheat (Triticum …

Low-input and organic farming systems have notable differences in nitrogen (N) sources,
cycling and management strategies compared to conventional systems with high inputs of …

Understanding factors underpinning the variability in nitrogen (N) utilization efficiency
(NUtE)[ie grain yield per unit of N uptake at maturity (Nup MAT)] is critical to direct future …

This book starts with an introduction to the utilization, development and production of wheat,
and a discussion of how the different grain characters influence the subsequent utilization of …

Twenty elite varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), primarily winter wheat, were grown
with low and high supplies of nitrogen (N) in a field experiment at Rothamsted, southern …
