Plant nitrogen (N), acquired mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium from soil, dominates
growth and development, and high-yield crop production relies heavily on N fertilization. The …

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 …

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer represents a significant cost for the grower and may also have
environmental impacts through nitrate leaching and N 2 O (a greenhouse gas) emissions …

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing is a promising approach for non-
destructive and high-throughput assessment of crop water and nitrogen (N) efficiencies. In …

The study was conducted to determine the effects of genotype (G), environment (E), their
interaction (GEI) and genetic gain on yield and grain quality traits in Turkish spring wheat …

Root system architecture has received increased attention in recent years; however,
significant knowledge gaps remain for physiological phenes, or units of phenotype, that …

Sorghum is an important crop, which is widely used as food, forage, fodder and biofuel.
Despite its natural adaption to resource-poor and stressful environments, increasing yield …

Genetic improvement analysis of the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of wheat (Tritium
aestivum L.) was undertaken to determine the factors guiding NUE in order to develop new …

Context Wheat is a crop of vital importance for food security. In contrast to the accumulated
knowledge for yield determination, the effect of variations in the source/sink (S/S) ratio on …
