Carpel weight, grain length and stabilized grain water content are physiological drivers of grain weight determination of wheat

Field Crops Research, 2011
Abstract Among the yield components, grain weight is considered a conservative trait whose determination is still beyond our complete understanding. Crop physiology uses a whole approach to study this complex trait, which can provide helpful information to plant breeders and molecular biologists.

The association between grain volume and grain weight in wheat

Journal of Cereal Science, 1984
Observations were made throughout the period from grain set until ripening of the changes in weight, volume, water content and anatomical structure of grains for three heavy-grained and three light-grained cultivars of spring wheat. The density of dry mature grains was determined for samples of 12 cultivars of Triticum aestivum and one T.

gw2.1, a new allele of GW2, improves grain weight and grain yield in rice

Plant Science, 2022
Grain weight is an important characteristic of grain shape and a key contributing factor to the grain yield in rice. Here, we report that gw2.1, a new allele of the Grain Width and Weight 2 (GW2) gene, regulates grain size and grain weight. A single nucleotide substitution in the coding sequence (CDS) of gw2.1 resulted in the change of glutamate to ...

Rice PCR1 influences grain weight and Zn accumulation in grains

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2015
AbstractProteins containing a placenta‐specific 8 domain (PLAC8) function as major organ size regulators in Solanum lycopersicum and Zea may, and putative metal ion transporters in Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa and Brassica juncea. However, it is unknown how PLAC8 domain‐containing proteins fulfill such diverse roles.

Can Whole Grain Help in Weight Management?

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2014
Evidence from epidemiological studies suggests that higher whole grain intake is associated with improvements in body weight measures. Evidence from randomized controlled intervention studies is controversial.To assess the scientific evidence, using a descriptive systematic approach, related to the relationship/effects of whole grain on weight ...

THE EFFECT OF MICROBIOLOGICAL FERTILIZERS ON GRAIN WEIGHT OF BEANS

Acta Horticulturae, 2007
The effect of microbiological fertilizers on Serbian genotypes and on field in Serbia were studied using four microbiological fertilizers and three genotypes of Phaseolis vulgaris. The aim of the experiment was to decrease the costs of crop production and the environmental protection. Microbiological fertilizers originating from the Institute for Soil -

Grain weight response to increases in number of grains in wheat in a Mediterranean area

Field Crops Research, 2006
Abstract This study explored whether the average grain weight of wheat tends to be reduced when grain number is increased due to either competition or, to a consistent increase in the relative proportion of grains of smaller weight potential. Three field experiments considering environmental, genetic and environmental × genetic effects on yield and ...

Grain Weight in Cultivated Strains of Paddy

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1968
Yield in rice being a complex character is influenced very much by certain contributory factors and these yield components individually and in combination affect the yield. Enumerating the selective factors of the yielding ability in cereals, Panse and Khargonkar (1949) included grain weight as one of the important indices among others Simolete (1947 ...

Genetic effects determining rice grain weight and grain density

Euphytica, 1992
Increasing grain weight is one means of increasing rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain yields. Selection for increased density of filled grains may offer an approach to increasing rice grain weight. Before rice breeding programs can begin effectively selecting for higher grain density, the nature and amount of the genetic variation present must be evaluated ...

Rice Grain Morphological Characteristics Correlate with Grain Weight and Milling Quality

Cereal Chemistry, 2013
ABSTRACTUsing image analysis technology, the morphological measurements of paddy, brown (BR), and milled (MR) grains of 408 rice (Oryza sativa L.) lines representing a wide range of grain morphology were obtained, and the measurements' relationships with grain weight, milling quality, and chalkiness were investigated.
