Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effectively applied to detect the marker trait
associations (MTAs) using whole genome-wide variants for complex quantitative traits in …

Increasing nitrogen fertilizer applications have sustained a growing world population in the
20th century. However, to avoid any further associated environmental damage, new …

Crops, including cotton, are sensitive to nitrogen (N) and excessive use can lead to an
increase in production costs and environmental problems. We hypothesized that the use of …

Accurate, efficient, and timely yield estimation is critical for crop variety breeding and
management optimization. However, the contributions of proximal sensing data …

Wheat leaf senescence is a developmental process that involves expressional changes in
thousands of genes that ultimately impact grain protein content (GPC), grain yield (GY), and …

Synthetic hexaploid wheat-derived cultivars (SDCs) show substantially improved yield
potential compared with that of nonsynthetic-derived cultivars (NSCs) developed by …

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 …

This study investigated if and how cytokinins would mediate the effect of post-anthesis soil-
drying on source-to-sink remobilization of nitrogen (N) in rice. Field experiments were …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential mineral nutrient for wheat grain yield and quality. Wheat
cultivars with improved N-use efficiency (NUE, crop yield per unit availability of N from soil …

Wheat cultivars differ in their response to nitrogen (N) fertilizer, both in terms of its uptake
and utilization. Characterizing this variation is an important step in improving the N use …
