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.

Reinvestigation of THOUSAND-GRAIN WEIGHT 6 grain weight genes in wheat and rice indicates a role in pollen development rather than regulation of auxin content in grains [PDF]
Phylogenetic and expression analyses of grain weight genes TaTGW6 and OsTGW6 and investigation of substrate availability indicate TGW6 does not regulate auxin content of grains but may affect pollen development. The THOUSAND-GRAIN WEIGHT 6 genes (TaTGW6 and OsTGW6) are reported to result in larger grains of wheat and rice by reducing production of ...

Comparative Effects of Heat Stress at Booting and Grain-Filling Stage on Yield and Grain Quality of High-Quality Hybrid Rice [PDF]
Rice plants are highly sensitive to high-temperature stress, posing challenges to grain yield and quality. However, the impact of high temperatures on the quality of high-quality hybrid rice during the booting stage, as well as the differing effects of ...

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-

Effects of radiation and temperature on tiller survival, grain number and grain yield in winter wheat [PDF]
Effects of the environment on shoot survival were studied in winter wheat cv. Avalon grown in microplots at a density of 247 plants m−2. The incident radiation and mean temperature were altered during one of three periods of between 14 and 29 d duration,
