Wheat Escapes Low Light Stress by Altering Pollination Types
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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

SMALL GRAIN 11 Controls Grain Size, Grain Number and Grain Yield in Rice [PDF]
Rice, 2016 Grain size is one of key agronomic traits that determine grain yield in rice. Several regulators of grain size have been identified in rice, but the mechanisms that determine grain size and yield remain largely unknown.Here we characterize a small grain (smg11) mutant in rice, which exhibits small grains, dense panicles and the increased number of ...

Genetic control of the number of grains on corn cob [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 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

Suppressed ABA signal transduction in the spike promotes sucrose use in the stem and reduces grain number in wheat under water stress. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2020 Water stress is a primary trigger for reducing grain number per spike in wheat during the reproductive period. However, under stress conditions, the responses of plant organs and the interactions between them at the molecular and physiological levels ...
