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 …

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 …

Lint yield in cotton is governed by light intercepted by the canopy (IPAR), radiation use
efficiency (RUE), and harvest index (HI). However, the conventional methods of measuring …

The developmental process of spike is critical for spike fertility through affecting floret
primordia fate in wheat; however, the genetic regulation of this dynamic and complex …

A long‐term goal of breeders and researchers is to develop crop varieties that can resist
environmental stressors and produce high yields. However, prioritising yield often …

Recent research advances in wheat have focused not only on increasing grain yields, but
also on establishing higher grain quality. Wheat quality is primarily determined by the grain …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as a staple crop is closely interwoven into the development of
modern society. Its influence on culture and economic development is global. Recent …

Crop canopy architecture is a central component of yield. The arrangement of leaves in
three-dimensional space defines the efficiency of absorption of radiation and its conversion …

Phosphite represents a reduced form of phosphate that belongs to a class of crop growth-
promoting chemicals termed biostimulants. Previous research has shown that phosphite …

Context Estimating the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) interception
(FIPAR) precisely is critical for monitoring crop eco-physiological status. However, few …
