Interaction of planting system with radiation‐use efficiency in wheat lines [PDF]
Crop Science, 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 ...

Disentangling the Heterosis in Biomass Production and Radiation Use Efficiency in Maize: A Phytomer-Based 3D Modelling Approach [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Maize (Zea mays L.) benefits from heterosis in-yield formation and photosynthetic efficiency through optimizing canopy structure and improving leaf photosynthesis. However, the role of canopy structure and photosynthetic capacity in determining heterosis

Water and Radiation Use Efficiencies in Sorghum
Agronomy Journal, 2013 Increasing water and radiation use efficiencies (WUE and RUE, respectively) are critical to enhance crop production. Exploring genetic variability in WUE and RUE is necessary to improve these traits. The objectives of this research were to evaluate eight sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] genotypes for biomass production, WUE, and RUE and to test ...

Radiation dimming induced modifications in radiation utilization of wheat (Triticumaestivum) crop
Journal of Agrometeorology, 2020 Global dimming has many environmental and climatic implications. India has also experienced a steady and continuous radiation dimming since 1960s due to increasing load of dust and aerosol in the atmosphere.

A Review of Modeled Water Use Efficiency of Highly Productive Perennial Grasses Useful for Bioenergy
Agronomy, 2020 Whole plant productivity is obviously the ultimate product of leaf photosynthesis and this has led to numerous efforts to relate the two. However, often with perennial grasses, plant productivity is more sink-limited than source-limited, causing the ...

Avenues for genetic modification of radiation use efficiency in wheat [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2000 Radiation use efficiency (RUE) of a crop is a function of several interacting physiological phenomena, each of which can be tackled independently from the point of view of genetic improvement. Although wheat breeding has not raised RUE substantially, theoretical calculations suggest room for improvement.
