In Mediterranean durum wheat production, nitrogen (N) fertilization may be important to
stabilize and increase yields. Wheat yield responses to N fertilization are usually related to …

Wheat yield depends on the number of grains per square metre, which in turn is related to
the number of fertile florets at anthesis. The dynamics of floret generation/degeneration were …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Gamenya was grown in a Mediterranean type environment
in two separate field experiments, to determine the effects of nitrogen application and date of …

Plants of wheat (Triticum aestlvum L.) cv. Aotea were grown at high or low nitrogen levels
and in a natural photoperiod or continuous light. Starting 17–21 days from the double-ridge …

Survival of floret primordia initiated seems critical for the determination of grain number and
yield in wheat, and understanding what determines floret mortality would help in the …

Plants of wheat cv. Arawa confined to the main shoot were grown in solution culture in a
glasshouse. Nitrogen supply was either high (150 pp 111.) or low (15 ppm) at three stages …

The number and developmental stages of florets were determined in each spikelet of the
spike in the main shoots of spring wheat. Samples were taken frequently from plants grown …

In a previous paper (Field Crops Res. 203, 114–127), we showed that the difference in yield
potential between a contemporary and a traditional cultivar was due to differences in fruiting …

We examined effects of nitrogen (N) supply on leaf emergence of spring wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) grown in sand with nutrient solution containing different N concentrations (9NO …

Spike growth during the stem elongation phase is critical for the establishment of the number
of fertile florets (FF). A longer period of spike growth would lead to an increased number of …
