Genetic variations in ARE1 mediate grain yield by modulating nitrogen utilization in rice

Nature Communications, 2018
In crops, nitrogen directly determines productivity and biomass. However, the improvement of nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) is still a major challenge in modern agriculture.

Sunflower yield and oil quality interactions and variability: analysis through a simple simulation model [PDF]

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology (2007) 143: 252-262, 2017
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grain and oil quality are defined by grain weight and oil percentage, oil fatty acid composition and the amount of antioxidants. The aim of this work was to establish and validate a simple model, based on published relationships, which can estimate not only yield and its components, but also grain and oil quality ...

Effect of zinc foliar application on grain yield of maize and its yielding components

, 2018
Actual yields of maize harvested by farmers are at level much below attainable yield potential of currently cultivated varieties. Among many growth factors zinc was recognized as one of main limiting factors of maize crop growth and yielding.

Effect of nitrogen fertilizer rates on grain yield and nitrogen uptake and use efficiency of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties on the Vertisols of central highlands of Ethiopia

Agriculture & Food Security, 2018
BackgroundNitrogen is one of the most important nutrients limiting yield of bread wheat in Ethiopian highlands. Application of a large amount of N fertilizer has been a method of increasing yield in the study area which is costly and can cause ...

Variation in the regulatory region of FZP causes increases in secondary inflorescence branching and grain yield in rice domestication.

The Plant Journal, 2018
Inflorescence branching is a key agronomic trait determining rice yield. The primary branch of the ancestral wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) bears few grains, due to minimal secondary branching.
