Harvest index (HI) is a complex and vital agronomic trait that is closely related to the
economic benefits of rapeseed. In this study, we measured the HI and 13 HI-related …

Harvest index (HI), the ratio of seed mass to total biomass of the aboveground plant parts, is
an important trait for harvestable yield of crops. Unfortunately, HI of Brassica napus is lower …

Background Harvest index (HI), the ratio of grain yield to total biomass, is considered as a
measure of biological success in partitioning assimilated photosynthate to the harvestable …

The harvest index (HI) is the ratio of grain yield to the total biomass and represents the
harvestable yield of crops. In Brassica napus, the HI is lower than that of other economically …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), the third largest oil crop, is an important source of vegetable
oil and biofuel for the world. Although the breeding and yield has been improved, rapeseed …

Harvest index (HI), the ratio of harvested seed weight to total aboveground biomass weight,
is an economically critical value reflecting the convergence of complex agronomic traits. HI …

Yield is one of the most important yet complex crop traits. To improve our understanding of
the genetic basis of yield establishment, and to identify candidate genes responsible for …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most essential oil crops. Genetic improvement
of seed yield (SY) is a major aim of B. napus breeding. Several studies have been reported …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide and 1000-seed
weight (SW) is the important determinant of seed yield of B. napus. To elucidate the genetic …

Genetic improvement of seed yield per plant (SY) is one of the major objectives in Brassica
napus breeding programme. SY, being a complex quantitative trait is directly and indirectly …
