A Factorial experiment were conducted at the experimental farm of Field Crop College of Agriculture University of Baghdad Jadiria the winter Season of 2014-2015. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of seeding rates and nitrogen levels on Regulation of tillering in wheat and its relationship with grain yield and it's components.

GNI-A1mediates trade-off between grain number and grain weight in tetraploid wheat [PDF]
AbstractGrain yield is a highly polygenic trait determined by the number of grains per unit area, as well as by grain weight. In wheat, grain number and grain weight are usually negatively correlated. Yet, the genetic basis underlying trade-off between the two is mostly unknown. Here, we fine-mapped a grain weight QTL using wild emmer introgressions in

Genome-Wide Association Study of Grain Number in Common Wheat From Shanxi Under Different Water Regimes. [PDF]
Water availability is a crucial environmental factor on grain number in wheat, which is one of the important yield-related traits. In this study, a diverse panel of 282 wheat accessions were phenotyped for grain number per spike (GNS), spikelet number ...

RGN1 controls grain number and shapes panicle architecture in rice. [PDF]
Summary Yield in rice is determined mainly by panicle architecture. Using map‐based cloning, we identified an R2R3 MYB transcription factor REGULATOR OF GRAIN NUMBER1 (RGN1) affecting grain number and panicle architecture.

Molecular and Genetic Aspects of Grain Number Determination in Rice (Oryza sativa L.). [PDF]
Rice grain yield is a complex trait determined by three components: panicle number, grain number per panicle (GNPP) and grain weight. GNPP is the major contributor to grain yield and is crucial for its improvement.

A Duplicated Copy of the Meiotic Gene ZIP4 Preserves up to 50% Pollen Viability and Grain Number in Polyploid Wheat. [PDF]
Although most flowering plants are polyploid, little is known of how the meiotic process evolved to stabilise and preserve polyploid fertility. On wheat polyploidisation, the major meiotic gene ZIP4 on chromosome 3B duplicated onto 5B and subsequently ...

Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase OsCKX11 coordinates source and sink relationship in rice by simultaneous regulation of leaf senescence and grain number. [PDF]
Summary The flag leaf and grain belong to the source and sink, respectively, of cereals, and both have a bearing on final yield. Premature leaf senescence significantly reduces the photosynthetic rate and severely lowers crop yield.
