Water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) stored in the stems and leaf sheaths of winter cereals
provide an important source of assimilate for remobilisation during grain-filling …

The water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) that accumulates in the stems of wheat during
growth can be an important contributor to grain filling, particularly under conditions when …

Several environmental factors including drought and disease can reduce leaf area and
photosynthesis during grain-filling to decrease grain yield and kernel weight of cereal crops …

Background The accumulation and remobilization of stem water soluble carbohydrates
(WSC) are determinant physiological traits highly influencing yield potential in wheat against …

Key message Water-soluble carbohydrate accumulation can be selected in wheat breeding
programs with consideration of genetic× environmental interactions and relationships with …

High levels of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) provide an important source of stored
assimilate for grain filling in wheat. To better understand the interaction between …

Improving water-use efficiency by incorporating drought avoidance traits into new wheat
varieties is an important objective for wheat breeding in water-limited environments. This …

Drought is a major environmental constraint to crop distribution and productivity. Stem water-
soluble carbohydrates (WSC) buffer wheat grain yield against conditions unfavorable for …

Drought, heat and other abiotic stresses during grain filling can result in reductions in grain
weight. Conserved water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) at early grain filling play an …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production is increasingly challenged by simultaneous drought
and heatwaves. We assessed the effect of both stresses combined on whole plant water use …
