Analysis of sink/source relations in bread wheat recombinant inbred lines and commercial cultivars under a high yield potential environment
(Elsevier Science, 2018-02)
Grain yield in wheat is generally considered to be sink-limited during grain filling. But is this limitation inherent to the crop species or a consequence of the breeding process? A way to ascertain this is by using genetic ...
Genotype and genotype-by-environment interaction effects for grain yield and grain size of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) as revealed by pattern analysis of international multi-environment trials
(Elsevier Science, 2004-10)
The size and nature of the genotype (G) and genotype×environment (G×E) interaction effects for grain yield, its physiological determinants, and grain size exhibited by the Andean grain crop quinoa at low latitudes were ...
Modelled yield and water use efficiency of maize in response to crop management and Southern Oscillation Index in a soil-climate transect in Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2012-10)
Maize responses to individual management factors have been widely investigated but studies of higher-order interactions involving multiple factors are rare. This paper investigates the responses of grain yield and water ...
Increasing grain yield in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) by selection for high spike fertility index
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-08)
Spike fertility index (SF) has been proposed as a promising selection criterion for increasing grain yield (GY) in bread wheat. Here, changes in GY and related traits after simulated selection (10% intensity) for high SF ...
Sowing date and maize grain quality for dry milling
(Elsevier Science, 2018-01)
Argentina is the single exporter of non-gmo hard endosperm maize to the European Union, and is internationally known for its grain hardness. This special hard endosperm maize supply chain follows strict regulations to ...
The critical period for grain yield in chia (Salvia hispanica)
(CSIRO, 2021-03-30)
Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) grain is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for human nutrition and prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as dietary fibre and quality protein. Demand for chia ...
Selection for high spike fertility index increases genetic progress in grain yield and stability in bread wheat
(Springer Netherlands, 2018-07-18)
Spike fertility index (SF) has been proposed as a promising trait to be used as a selection criterion in wheat breeding programs aimed at increasing grain yield, but no actual evidence of its successful application has ...
Changes in yield determinants and quality traits in wheat after 12 cycles of recurrent selection
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2020-07-08)
The objective of this study was to test the genetic response to 12 cycles of a recurrent selection program for grain yield and related traits. During two seasons the 39 S-derived families (three/C0–C12 populations) were ...
Increasing grain yield in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) by selection for high spike fertility index
(Wiley, 2021-06-28)
Spike fertility index (SF) has been proposed as a promising selection criterion for increasing grain yield (GY) in bread wheat. Here, changes in GY and related traits after simulated selection (10% intensity) for high SF ...
Grain yield, milling and breadmaking quality responses to foliar diseases in old and modern Argentinean wheat cultivars
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-05)
Foliar diseases limit yield and modify the quality of the bread wheat. Due to genetic improvement reduced source:sink ratio, it is possible to speculate that the diseases infections penalize yield more in modern than in ...
