Genes for Yield Stability in Tomatoes. [PDF]
AbstractBreeding plant varieties with adaptation to unstable environments requires some knowledge about the genetic control of yield stability. To further this goal, a meta‐analysis of 12 years of field harvest data of 76 Solanum pennellii introgression lines (ILs) is conducted.

Allometry and Yield Stability of Cereals. [PDF]
Crop plants grow, and then, they allocate resources to different structures, including seeds and fruits, which represent yield in most crops. We define the yield stability of a genotype as its ability to reduce the effects of temporal variation in resources and conditions on yield production, and we argue that yield stability can be understood in terms

Improving Yield and Yield Stability in Winter Rye by Hybrid Breeding. [PDF]
Rye is the only cross-pollinating small-grain cereal. The unique reproduction biology results in an exceptional complexity concerning genetic improvement of rye by breeding. Rye is a close relative of wheat and has a strong adaptation potential that refers to its mating system, making this overlooked cereal readily adjustable to a changing environment.

Optimal Contribution Selection Improves the Rate of Genetic Gain in Grain Yield and Yield Stability in Spring Canola in Australia and Canada [PDF]
Crop breeding must achieve higher rates of genetic gain in grain yield (GY) and yield stability to meet future food demands in a changing climate. Optimal contributions selection (OCS) based on an index of key economic traits should increase the rate of ...

The intercropping of two or more crop species on the same piece of land at a given time has been hypothesized to enhance crop yield stability. To address this hypothesis, we assessed the grain yield stability of various barley-pea and wheat-faba bean ...

Coffee Yield Stability as a Factor of Food Security. [PDF]
Yield fluctuation is a major risk in all agricultural sectors, and it influences Goal 2 (food security) of the UN SDGs. Yield fluctuations are expected due to climate change, risking stable coffee supplies, and compromising coffee-exporting countries’ ability to earn revenue to pay for food imports.

The agronomic mechanism of root lodging resistance and yield stability for sweet corn in response to planting density and nitrogen rates at different planting dates [PDF]
A three-cycle field experiment was conducted to investigate the underlying agronomic mechanism on modulating the root lodging resistance and yield stability of sweet corn in response to the planting density and nitrogen rate during different growth ...
