Interaction of planting system with radiation-use efficiency in wheat lines. [PDF]
Crop Sci, 2023 AbstractRadiation‐use efficiency (RUE) is an important trait for raising biomass and yield potential in plant breeding. However, the effect of the planting system (PS) on genetic variation in RUE has not been previously investigated. Our objectives were to quantify genetic variation in RUE, biomass and grain yield in raised‐bed and flat‐basin planting ...
