In a changing climate, extreme weather events such as heatwaves will be more frequent and could affect grain weight and the quality of crops such as wheat, one of the most significant crops in terms of global food security. In this work, we characterized

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

Functional Analysis of OsCIPK17 in Rice Grain Filling
We used mutant cipk17 and Nipponbare in field experiments to analyze agronomic traits, photosynthetic parameters, transcriptome, and gene expression. The results demonstrated cytoplasmic localization of OsCIPK17, while GUS allogeneic (A. thaliana) tissue-

Genetic analysis of grain weight in wheat [PDF]
The reciprocal monosomic analysis (RMA) technique of intervarietal chromosome manipulation was used to investigate the genetic control of grain weight in two varieties of wheat (Spica and Chinese Spring). The method enabled major genetic differences between the two varieties for this quantitative character to be assigned to individual chromosomes.

The current lack of efficient methods for high throughput field phenotyping is a constraint on the goal of increasing durum wheat yields. This study illustrates a comprehensive methodology for phenotyping this crop's water use through the use of the two ...

Accurate estimation of sink capacity in rice (grain number × potential grain size), independent of grain filling, is necessary for considering source – sink interactions. However, how to measure potential grain size is still a matter of debate.

Delays in sowing have significant effects on the grain yield, yield components, and grain protein concentrations of winter wheat. However, little is known about how delayed sowing affects these characteristics at different positions in the wheat spikes ...

Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Mapping and genetic validation of a grain size QTL qGS7.1 in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Grain size is a major determinant of grain weight, which is one of the components of rice yield. The objective o this study was to identify novel, and important quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for grain size and weight in rice.

Characterization of transgenic wheat lines expressing maize ABP7 involved in kernel development
Wheat is one of the major food crops in the world. Functional validation of the genes in increasing the grain yield of wheat by genetic engineering is essential for feeding the ever-growing global population.
