A comprehensive review is presented of the literature regarding the development,
phenology and growth of the wheat shoot apex. Other species are also considered, while …

Grain number per spike, which is greatly influenced by floret fertility, is an important trait of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. Maximum floret primordia, fertile floret, and final grain …

Grains per spike in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are not uniformly distributed. Basal spikelets
are typically sterile (or rudimentary) under common agronomic field conditions leading to the …

Increased economic costs and environmental concerns have heightened the desire to
reduce crop nitrogen (N) input. Improvements in crop N use efficiency (NUE) are urgently …

Large differences exist in the number of grains per spikelet across an individual wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) spike. The central spikelets produce the highest number of grains …

Abstract The miRNA156 (miR156)/SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE
(SPL/SBP) regulatory hub is highly conserved among phylogenetically distinct species, but …

Standardisation of cultural practises is one of the primary objectives to make the system
ecologically sustainable and economically viable. In this context, the present study was …

It is often claimed that agroforestry could increase the total productivity per land unit
compared to monocropping systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in a sub-humid …

Wheat yield is linearly related to grain number per unit area, which is greatly influenced by
floret fertility. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanisms controlling floret fertility …

Grain yield in wheat is dependent on photosynthate production and allocation. Light
intensity is one of the main factors affecting photosynthate production and allocation, and …
