Background Improving abiotic stress tolerance in wheat requires large scale screening of
yield components such as seed weight, seed number and single seed weight, all of which is …

Flower development is an important determinant of grain yield in crops. In wheat (Triticum
spp.), natural variation for the size of spikelet and floral organs is particularly evident in …

The extent to which the quality and yield of plant varieties are influenced by the environment
is important for their successful uptake by end users particularly as climatic fluctuations are …

The 3D analysis of plants has become increasingly effective in modeling the relative
structure of organs and other traits of interest. In this paper, we introduce a novel pattern …

components and detailed examination of spike morphometric traits is beneficial to explain …

Southeast Anatolia is home to some of the earliest and most spectacular Neolithic sites
associated with the beginning of cultivation and herding in the Old World. In this article we …

Cereal grain develops from fertilised florets. Alterations in floret and grain development
greatly influence grain yield and quality. Despite this, little is known about the underlying …
