Effects of Potassium Availability on Growth and Development of Barley Cultivars

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Potassium deficiency is one of the major issues affecting crop production around the globe. Giving the high cost of potassium fertilizers and environmental concerns related to inappropriate fertilization practices, developing more potassium use efficient

MOLECULAR MARKER ANALYSIS OF SPIKE FERTILITY INDEX AND RELATED TRAITS IN A BREAD WHEAT RECOMBINANT INBRED LINE POPULATION [PDF]

open access: yesBAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2019
Spike fertility index (SF) has been well established as an ecophysiological trait related to grain number per unit area and a promising selection target in wheat breeding programs. Scarce information on the molecular basis of SF is available thus far. In

The Rice Peptide Transporter OsNPF7.3 Is Induced by Organic Nitrogen, and Contributes to Nitrogen Allocation and Grain Yield

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Nitrogen use efficiency is important for the development of sustainable agriculture. Plants have different transporters to facilitate nitrogen uptake and internal distribution.

Genes Impacting Grain Weight and Number in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. aestivum)

open access: yesPlants, 2022
The primary goal of common wheat (T. aestivum) breeding is increasing yield without negatively impacting the agronomic traits or product quality. Genetic approaches to improve the yield increasingly target genes that impact the grain weight and number ...

Straw Mulching Combined with Phosphorus Fertilizer Increases Fertile Florets of Wheat by Enhancing Leaf Photosynthesis and Assimilate Utilization

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Lack of soil moisture and phosphorus deficiency limits wheat grain yield in dryland areas. However, the moisture-conserving effect of straw mulching combined with phosphor fertilization on fertile florets per spike (FFS) and grain yield remains unclear ...

Allele mining for the grain number gene An-1 in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2021
Rice yield has attained a plateau and hence the enhancement of grain yield is indispensable to feed the growing population, which could be achieved by the identification of superior alleles in the existing germplasm. Any variation in the pleiotropic gene,

Raised bed planting promotes grain number per spike in wheat grown after rice by improving spike differentiation and enhancing photosynthetic capacity

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
The yield of wheat in wheat–rice rotation cropping systems in the Yangtze River Plain, China, is adversely impacted by waterlogging. A raised bed planting (RBP) pattern may reduce waterlogging and increase the wheat yield after rice cultivation by ...

High post-anthesis temperature effects on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain transcriptome during early grain-filling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: High post-anthesis (p.a) temperatures significantly reduce mature grain weight in wheat and other cereals. However, the mechanisms through which this reduction occurs are not entirely known. It has been suggested that the pericarp may control

The grain refinement potency of bismuth in magnesium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Copyright © 2016 The Authors. A quantitative model was applied to analyse the grain refinement potency of bismuth in magnesium. The formation of potent Mg-Bi-O intermetallic phases at 0.4wt.% Bi were attributed to a noteworthy reduction in the average ...

A natural allele of TAW1 contributes to high grain number and grain yield in rice

open access: yesThe Crop Journal, 2021
Abstract Grain number per panicle (GNP) is a complex trait controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL), directly determining grain yield in rice. Identifying GNP-associated QTL is desirable for increasing rice yield. A rice chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL), F771, which showed increased panicle length and GNP, was identified in a set of ...
