PERFORMANCE, VARIANCES AND HERITABILITY FOR SEVENTEEN GENOTYPES OF DURUM WHEAT (Triticum durum Desf.) [PDF]
Sixteen new durum wheat genotypes in addition to the local variety, Um-Rabeeh were studied in RCBD with three replications under the rainfed conditions of northern region of Iraq to study: number of days to 50% anthesis, plant height, spike length ...

SMALL GRAIN 11 Controls Grain Size, Grain Number and Grain Yield in Rice [PDF]
Grain size is one of key agronomic traits that determine grain yield in rice. Several regulators of grain size have been identified in rice, but the mechanisms that determine grain size and yield remain largely unknown.Here we characterize a small grain (smg11) mutant in rice, which exhibits small grains, dense panicles and the increased number of ...

Predicting spring barley yield from variety-specific yield potential, disease resistance and straw length, and from environment-specific disease loads and weed pressure [PDF]
For low-input crop production, well-characterised varieties increase the possibilities of managing diseases and weeds. This analysis aims at developing a framework for analyzing grain yield using external varietal information about disease resistance ...

Evaluation of maize grain yield and yield stability by AMMI analysis [PDF]
Significant genotype x environment interaction for quantitative traits, such is grain yield, reduces the usefulness of genotype means, over all environments, for selecting superior genotypes. AMMI model is a valuable statistical tool in identifying systemic variation contained in the interaction effect.

Variations in agronomic and grain quality traits of rice grown under irrigated lowland conditions in West Africa [PDF]
Rice breeding in West Africa has been largely skewed toward yield enhancement and stress tolerance. This has led to the variable grain quality of locally produced rice in the region.

Expression of the CCCH-tandem zinc finger protein gene OsTZF5 under a stress-inducible promoter mitigates the effect of drought stress on rice grain yield under field conditions [PDF]
Increasing drought resistance without sacrificing grain yield remains an ongoing challenge in crop improvement. In this study, we report that Oryza sativa CCCH‐tandem zinc finger protein 5 (OsTZF5) can confer drought resistance and increase grain yield ...
