Rice PCR1 influences grain weight and Zn accumulation in grains [PDF]

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.

The Effect of Grain Position on Genetic Improvement of Grain Number and Thousand Grain Weight in Winter Wheat in North China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Genetic improvements have significantly contributed to wheat production. Five wheat cultivars—widely grown in north China in the 1950s, 1990s, or 2010s—were grown in field experiments conducted in the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 growing seasons.

Genome-wide association analysis was used to discover genes related to soybean grain weight per plant and 100-grain weight. [PDF]

Breed Sci
As an essential grain, oil, and feed crop worldwide, soybean plays a crucial role. Developing high-yielding and high-quality soybean varieties is a critical goal for breeders. The grain weight per plant and 100-grain weight directly impact the soybean yield. This study combined genotypic data from the population with phenotypic data.

Genetic modification of spikelet arrangement in wheat increases grain number without significantly affecting grain weight [PDF]

Zeitschrift für Induktive Abstammungs- und Vererbungslehre, 2018
Crop yield is determined by the acquisition and allocation of photoassimilates in sink organs. Therefore, genetic modification of sink size is essential for understanding the complex signaling network regulating sink strength and source activities.

Different grain-filling rates explain grain-weight differences along the wheat ear

PLOS ONE, 2018
Thousand grain weight is one of the components determining wheat grain yield. It represents the average value of individual grain weights which depends on position within the ear and on positon within the spikelet.

Maize Grain Weight Sensitivity to Source–Sink Manipulations under a Wide Range of Field Conditions [PDF]

Crop science, 2018
Physiological causes for grain weight determination in maize (Zea mays L.) are not clear. Source–sink relationships during grain filling modulate grain weight, and there are controversies regarding the degree of source limitation that may exist during ...

Superior grains determined by grain weight are not fully correlated with the flowering order in rice

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015
Rice panicles are composed of many branches with two types of extreme grains, the superior and the inferior. Traditionally, it has been well accepted that earlier flowers result in superior grains and late flowers generate inferior grains. However, these

Description of grain weight distribution leading to genomic selection for grain-filling characteristics in rice

PLOS ONE, 2018
Grain-filling ability is one of the factors that controls grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We developed a method for describing grain weight distribution, which is the probability density function of single grain weight in a panicle, using 128 ...

Responses of nitrogen accumulation and translocation in five cytoplasmic hybrid rice cultivars

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2022
To study the difference among cytoplasm at the different nitrogen conditions, a research experiment was conducted using five different cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) hybrid rice with nitrogen levels at N0, N1, N2, and N3; the nitrogen application rates ...

Patterns of Influence of Meteorological Elements on Maize Grain Weight and Nutritional Quality

Agronomy, 2023
Meteorological factors are one of the important factors that determine maize kernel weight and grain nutritional quality. Analyzing the influence of meteorological factors before and after anthesis on maize kernel weight and nutritional quality ...
