Changes in number and weight of wheat and triticale grains to manipulation in source-sink relationship
(Hindawi, 2019-01)The source-sink ratio experimental manipulation has helped to define whether a crop is limited by source or sink or co-limited by both. There is no evidence in triticale of source-sink manipulations effects on yield and ... -
Kernel weight responses to the photo-thermal environment in maize dent × flint and flint × flint hybrids
(American Society of Agronomy, 2021-02)Maize (Zea mays, L.) grain yield is assumed to be source limited during the flowering period but sink limited during grain growth; however, environmental restrictions during active grain filling may strongly affect final ... -
Photoperiod-sensitivity genes shape floret development in wheat
(2019-02)Lengthening the pre-anthesis period of stem elongation (or late-reproductive phase, LRP) through altering photoperiod sensitivity has been suggested as a potential means to increase the number of fertile florets at anthesis ... -
Post-grazing cutting management in tall fescue affects the sward structure, forage and liveweight production
(2019-09)Tall fescue is the main perennial grass of the pastures of the temperate region of Argentina. However, after flowering in spring, tall fescue loses productivity and quality. Based on this, the objective of this work was ... -
Root phenotypes at maturity in diverse wheat and triticale genotypes grown in three field experiments: Relationships to shoot selection, biomass, grain yield, flowering time, and environment
(Elsevier, 2020-09)Modelling and limited data suggest that crops with deeper and longer roots capture more soil resources and yield more when water is available deeper in soil profiles. Interest has grown in the development of new cultivars ... -
The physiology and genetics behind fruiting efficiency, a promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03)The fruiting efficiency (FE, grains per g of spike dry weight at anthesis) was proposed as a promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential, based on its functional relationship with grain number determination (the ...
