Disentangling the Roles of Plant Water Status and Stem Carbohydrate Remobilization on Rice Harvest Index Under Drought [PDF]

Rice, 2023
Background Harvest index is an important component of grain yield and is typically reduced by reproductive stage drought stress in rice. Multiple drought response mechanisms can affect harvest index including plant water status and the degree of stem ...

Diversity increases yield but reduces harvest index in crop mixtures. [PDF]

Nat Plants, 2021
Resource allocation to reproduction is a critical trait for plant fitness1,2. This trait, called harvest index in the agricultural context3-5, determines how plant biomass is converted to seed yield and consequently financial revenue from numerous major staple crops.

Inheritance of harvest index in common bean [PDF]

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2018
The aim of this study was to verify if the harvest index (HI) of common bean is higher in modern lines, to verify if its estimate varies with the cycle of the plant and environmental conditions, and to obtain information concerning its genetic control ...

Linking phenology, harvest index, and genetics to improve chickpea grain yield. [PDF]

J Exp Bot
AbstractPhenology is critical to crop adaptation. We grew 24 chickpea genotypes in 12 environments to analyse: the environmental and genotypic drivers of phenology; associations between phenology and yield; and phenotypes associated with allelic variants of three flowering related candidate loci:CaELF3a; a cluster of threeFTgenes on chromosome 3; and a

AMMI analysis of nitrogen harvest index in bread wheat [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2010
Nitrogen harvest index - NHI is a measure of efficiency of nitrogen translocation from vegetative organs to grain. The goal of this paper is to investigate variability and stability of nitrogen harvest index of twelve bread wheat genotypes, on three ...

QUALITY INDEX AND HARVEST MATURITY OF Eugenia cibrata FRUITS [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2017
The aim of this study was to characterize and determine the quality index and the harvest maturity of Eugenia cibrata fruits. Fruits were harvested at 39, 41 and 43 days after sprouting and selected by the larger size.

Sink Strength Maintenance Underlies Drought Tolerance in Common Bean

Plants, 2021
Drought is a major limiter of yield in common bean, decreasing food security for those who rely on it as an important source of protein. While drought can have large impacts on yield by reducing photosynthesis and therefore resources availability, source

Analysis of Solanaceae Species Harvest-organ Growth by Linear Increase in Harvest Index and Harvest-organ Growth Rate [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2005
Crop growth simulation models have been mainly developed to simulate final yield reliably. Thus, a main challenge in these models is the definition of a stable method for expressing the growth of harvested organs (e.g., fruit, seed, tuber, etc.).

Characterization of Young Shoot Population, Yield, and Nitrogen Demands of Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) Harvested under Different Standards

Horticulturae, 2022
The quality of green tea is greatly influenced by the harvest standards for young shoots. The present field experiment was conducted to characterize the young shoot populations, yields, and nitrogen (N) demands of tea plants subjected to four different ...
