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 …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the predominant
protein in photosynthesizing plant parts and the most abundant protein on earth. Amino …

The aim of this study was to monitor the effect of foliar application of humic acid on plant
growth, photosynthetic metabolism and grain quality of durum wheat grown in a …

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 …

This review concerns ear photosynthesis and its contribution to grain filling in C3 cereals.
Ear photosynthesis is quantitatively important to grain filling, particularly in dry areas where …

The contribution of ear photosynthesis to grain filling in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is not
well known. The main objective of this work was to evaluate this contribution through three …

In recent years, market pressures have reinforced the demand to solve the problem of an
increased occurrence of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereal production, especially in …

In recent decades, genetic advances in yield improvement in the major cereal crops,
including wheat, has stagnated or proceeded at a slower rate than is required to meet future …

Small grain cereals such as wheat, rice and barley are among the most important crops
worldwide. Any attempt to increase crop productivity and stability through breeding implies …

Yellow & Huai River Valley Facultative Wheat Region is a major area of wheat production in
China. In the present production condition, improvement of the total production of wheat …
