Major global crops in high-yielding, temperate cropping regions are facing increasing
threats from the impact of climate change, particularly from drought and heat at critical …

Wheat is one of the main crops cultivated in nearly all regions of the world, from the equator
to temperate lands. Since the early 1960s, grain yield has increased almost linearly …

Today's food and farming systems have succeeded in supplying large volumes of foods to
global markets, but are generating negative outcomes on multiple fronts: widespread …

Our objective was to investigate the physiological basis of genetic progress in grain yield in
CIMMYT spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars developed from 1966 to 2009 in …

Key message Phenotypic and genetic analysis of six spike and kernel characteristics in
wheat revealed geographic patterns as well as long-term trends arising from breeding …

Understanding the key characteristics associated with genetic gains achieved through
breeding is essential for improving yield‐limiting factors and designing future breeding …

The objective of this study was to characterize physiologically wheat cultivars released in
different decades and identify selection criteria for the continued genetic progress in Brazil …

Different physiological traits have been proposed as key traits associated with yield potential
as well as performance under water stress. The aim of this paper is to examine the genotypic …

Background Selection has dramatically shaped genetic and phenotypic variation in bread
wheat. We can assess the genomic basis of historical phenotypic changes, and the potential …

The objective of this study is to update the data of genetic progress in bread wheat cultivars
released in Argentina from 1918 to 2011 (emphasizing the last 20 years) characterizing …
