Abstract:
... The grain number per spike (GNPS) is an important yield component, and much attention is given to the increase in GNPS for current yield improvement of common wheat. Here, a panel of 259 pre-breeding lines and elite commercial varieties were collected for the investigation of 12 agronomic traits, especially for spike-related traits, with 2-year replicates. The high correlation between GNPS and ker ...

Abstract:
... Novel intra-boll yield component traits and fiber quality indices have been used by breeders to select suitable Gossypium hirsutum L. lines, but there is little research on how these traits change during cultivation practices, especially fertilizer application. We hypothesized that these novel traits have obvious responses to phosphorus (P) fertilizer, which would explain the variation in yield an ...

Abstract:
... Knowledge of maize (Zea mays L.) kernel weight (KW) and kernel number (KN) response to nitrogen (N) fertilization can help understand the physiological basis behind the overall grain yield response to N fertilizer, but such data are rare. To fill this gap, we studied how KN and KW respond to N fertilization. We first analyzed grain yield and its components in 23 field N response experiments (site ...

Abstract:
... Combining ability analysis over two seasons was carried out in blackgram involving four lines, five testers and 20 crosses. Variance due to environments was significant for all the characters. Variances due to genotypes and genotype x environment was significant for all characters, except for number of pods per cluster. It indicated that environment plays a major influence on the estimates of comb ...
... The understanding of source-sink dynamics during reproductive stages is essential to increase crop productivity and to describe yield component determination in eco-physiological models. Previous studies in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) evaluated the effect of changes in assimilate supply from the beginning of rapid seed growth but not at different times during the seed-filling phase or at the ...

Abstract:
... The technology of hybrid rice utilizing heterosis is an essential requirement for achieving food security. The current study was aimed at assessing the genetic parameters and the gene actions of 15 yield-component traits associated with heterosis, in 9 new parental lines of hybrid rice and their generated hybrids. Five cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines were crossed with four restorer (R) lines ...

Abstract:
... Genotype-environment interaction (GxE) has a great impact on wheat physiology, morphology and grain yield (GY). We evaluated an association mapping panel of spring wheat advanced lines for chlorophyll content, canopy temperature (CT), and yield-related traits under three different watering regimes in two consecutive growing seasons. Genome-wide association mapping identified 457 SNPs, with signifi ...

... Genetic dissection of yield component traits including spike and kernel characteristics is essential for the continuous improvement in wheat yield. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been frequently used to identify genetic determinants for spike and kernel-related traits in wheat, though none have been employed in hard winter wheat (HWW) which represents a major class in US wheat acreage ...
