Genetic control of the number of grains on corn cob [PDF]
The evaluation of the combinational ability of maize I-lines was carried out on the basis of “the number of grains on the cob”. This parameter is one of the significant components of the structure of plant productivity and harvest and is directly dependent on the number of grain rows and the number of grains in a cob row. The quantitative manifestation

The Other Mechanisms by Which the Rht Genes Improve the Harvest Index of Wheat
Uncovering the mechanism that underlies the relationship between crop height and grain yield would potentially inform the strategies for improving wheat with optimal height.

Meiosis is the least explored stage for thermotolerance in wheat. We evaluated the impact of 5 d of moderate transient daily heat stress during meiosis in the main stem spike on physiological and grain yield traits in 30 diverse wheat cultivars which ...

Identification and Validation of Quantitative Trait Loci for Grain Number in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Grains number is one of the most important agronomic traits in the determination of rice productivity. To explore the underlying genetic basis of grain number in rice, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was performed using three recombinant inbred ...

Rice by the numbers: A good grain [PDF]
Millions of people around the world rely on rice as the bulk of their daily diet. This snapshot of the crop's production, consumption and trade shows an overall surplus, but population growth in future decades may affect the situation, writes Emily Elert.
