Evaluation of altered biomass mutant contributing increased grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2020 Yield improvement through crop breeding is a constant process to meet increasing yield demand in context of decreasing cultivable land and erratic climatic conditions. Breeding for yield improvement can be achieved through altering plant type.

Response of Yield Formation of Maize Hybrids to Different Planting Densities
AgricultureCrop density is a means that controls grain yield establishment. This study was focused on evaluating the effect of four crop densities (CD1—50,125 plants ha−1, CD2—59,523 plants ha−1, CD3—69,686 plants ha−1, and CD4—79,365 plants ha−1) on yield ...

Managing ‘Egan’ Wheat with a Gene for High Grain Protein
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2019 Core Ideas No inverse relation existed between grain yield and protein when N > 100 kg ha−1 for Egan. An inverse relationship between grain yield and protein in Egan was only evident at a very low N level. An inverse relationship between Egan grain yield

Genomic prediction and selection response for grain yield in safflower
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 In plant breeding programs, multiple traits are recorded in each trial, and the traits are often correlated. Correlated traits can be incorporated into genomic selection models, especially for traits with low heritability, to improve prediction accuracy.

Effect of intercropping on maize grain yield and yield components
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019 Smallholders in developing countries commonly use intercropping to produce crops with higher yield and value. Many intercropping studies have been conducted under experimental conditions, but few studies have been performed in farmers' fields. We conducted a 4-year study using data from real farms to examine the relationships between yield and yield ...

Selection for high spike fertility index increases genetic progress in grain yield and stability in bread wheat [PDF]
, 2018 Spike fertility index (SF) has been proposed as a promising trait to be used as a selection criterion in wheat breeding programs aimed at increasing grain yield, but no actual evidence of its successful application has been reported.
