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.

Weighted selection on coarse-grain hypercubes

Proceedings.Seventh IEEE Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing, 2002
Given n weighted records distributed evenly among a p-processor hypercube, p/spl les/n, we present efficient parallel algorithms for solving the weighted selection and related problems in the coarse-grain weak-hypercube model. A special case of the weighted selection problem, in which all the weights are equal, is known as the (unweighted) selection or

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 -

Dissection of grain weight across the oat panicle

Agronomy Journal, 2021
AbstractThe oat (Avena sativa L.) panicle develops from the tip to apex, resulting in differences in grain weight. A detailed dissection of grain weight across the panicle could reveal information to cope with stress. This study aimed to determine the principal grain‐filling component across the oat panicle and the effect of nitrogen (N) fertilizer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Factors controlling grain weight in wheat

Nature, 1977
THE physiological factors controlling differences in grain weight between cultivars of wheat are not fully resolved. The experiments described here indicate that final grain weight in two cultivars of wheat is mainly dependent on the rate of accumulation of dry matter, which in turn is governed by the number of endosperm cells formed.

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 ...

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.
