The Effect of Grain Position on Genetic Improvement of Grain Number and Thousand Grain Weight in Winter Wheat in North China [PDF]
Genetic improvements have significantly contributed to wheat production. Five wheat cultivars—widely grown in north China in the 1950s, 1990s, or 2010s—were grown in field experiments conducted in the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 growing seasons.

Identification of SMG3, a QTL Coordinately Controls Grain Size, Grain Number per Panicle, and Grain Weight in Rice. [PDF]
Grain size, grain number per panicle, and grain weight are key agronomic traits that determine grain yield in rice. However, the molecular mechanisms coordinately controlling these traits remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified a major QTL, SMG3, that is responsible for grain size, grain number per panicle, and grain weight in rice, which ...

A molecular framework for grain number determination in barley. [PDF]
Flowering plants with indeterminate inflorescences often produce more floral structures than they require. We found that floral primordia initiations in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) are molecularly decoupled from their maturation into grains.

Wheat Escapes Low Light Stress by Altering Pollination Types
Although low light stress seriously affects florets fertility and grain number during the reproductive period, crops can be fertilized by heterologous pollen to alleviate the reduction of grain number. However, wheat is strongly autogamous, how to change

Natural variation in GNP3 determines grain number and grain yield in rice. [PDF]
Grain number per panicle critically determines rice yield. Although many underlying genes have been reported, yet the molecular mechanisms linking ethylene to panicle development remain unclear. Here, we identify GRAIN NUMBER PER PANICLE 3 (GNP3) as a regulator of GNP through genome-wide association study (GWAS) combined with map-based cloning.
