In order to tackle the cumulative adverse effects of global climate change, reduced farmland,
and heightened needs of an ever-increasing world population, modern agriculture is in …

Natural selection favors the competitive ideotype, enabling native plants to survive in the
face of intense competition. The productive ideotype is the goal of artificial selection to …

Competition between crop plants, due to resource limitation, is at the root of a considerable
yield limitation, a major problem that future agriculture is faced with. Due to inter-plant …

Environmental variability induced by climate change is connected with inter‐annual
variation in grain yield of rain‐fed wheat. Density‐dependent cultivars, relying on high …

Lentil is an ancient legume crop cultivated thousands of years for its nutritious seeds, its
ability to improve soil colonized by nitrogen fixing symbiotic bacteria, and providing income …

The negative relationship between the yield potential of a genotype and its competitive
ability may constitute an obstacle to recognize outstanding genotypes within heterogeneous …

This study assessed the variations in grain yield (GY) and protein content (PC) within two
commercial durum wheat cultivars (Svevo and Maestrale) and evaluated their responses to …

Nil-competition (ultra-low plant density) has been asserted to highlight individual genotypes
of high yielding potential. This was tested on three lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) landraces …

Plant yield efficiency reflects the single‐plant yield at low density that precludes interplant
interference for resources. The role of plant yield efficiency in adaptation to water deficit was …

Genetic differentiation between 40 lentil genotypes was tested using molecular markers. The
genotypes were produced from a Greek landrace of commercial interest via the honeycomb …
