Global agriculture is dominated by a handful of species that currently supply a huge
proportion of our food and feed. It additionally faces the massive challenge of providing food …

Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

As crop yields are pushed closer to biophysical limits, achieving yield gains becomes
increasingly challenging and will require more insight into deterministic pathways to yields …

Key message In wheat, 2852 major QTLs of 8998 QTLs available for yield and related traits
were used for meta-analysis; 141 meta-QTLs were identified, which included 13 breeder's …

Increasing the speed of breeding to enhance crop productivity and adaptation to abiotic
stresses is urgently needed. The perception that a second Green Revolution should be …

France suffered, in 2016, the most extreme wheat yield decline in recent history, with some
districts losing 55% yield. To attribute causes, we combined the largest coherent detailed …

Source traits are currently of great interest for the enhancement of yield potential; for
example, much effort is being expended to find ways of modifying photosynthesis. However …

Expansins comprise an ancient group of cell wall proteins ubiquitous in land plants and their
algal ancestors. During cell growth, they facilitate passive yielding of the wall's cellulose …

Genomic regions governing days to heading (DH), grain filling duration (GFD), grain number
per spike (GNPS), grain weight per spike (GWPS), plant height (PH), and grain yield (GY) …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important cereal crop that is grown all over the world for
food and industrial purposes. Wheat is essential to the human diet due to its rich content of …
