Most of the required increases in food production over the next decades are expected to be
achieved through increases in crop yield. As wheat is essential for food security it is worrying …

Studies that compare the genotypic improvement of historical cultivars with yield progress in
commercial crops provide evidence of the impact of past and current research in crops. The …

Closing the yield gap is essential for global food security and for farmers who face
increasing costs of production. Recent work showed that Australia's wheat growers are …

Extreme climate, especially temperature, can severely reduce wheat yield. As global
warming has already begun to increase mean temperature and the occurrence of extreme …

The problems and challenges of rapidly increasing world population, global climate change,
shortages of water suitable for irrigation and degradation of agricultural land are increasing …

Heading time is a major determinant of the adaptation of wheat to different environments,
and is critical in minimizing risks of frost, heat, and drought on reproductive development …

The improvement in grain yield of wheat throughout Australia through both breeding and
management has been impressive. Averaged across all farms, there has been an …

Rise in temperature, particularly in warmer areas, could have a negative effect on maize
productivity. However, careful management practices could reduce the effects of high …

Technologies such as minimum tillage and new herbicides have enabled the use of early
and dry sowing in Western Australia (WA). Although there is a sowing date that maximises …

By accelerating crop development, warming climates may result in mismatches between key
sensitive growth stages and extreme climate events, with severe consequences for crop …
