Background: In breeding programs, the selection of cultivars with the highest yield potential consisted in the selection of the yield per se, which resulted in cultivars with higher grains per spike (GN) and occasionally ...

Earliness per se genes are those that regulate flowering time independently of vernalization and photoperiod, and are important for the fine tuning of flowering time and for the wide adaptation of wheat to different ...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) remains a devastating disease in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Genetic resistance to FHB is complex; aside from active physiological resistance, plant developmental and morphological traits ...

Knowing the processes responsible for high yields of grains in different genotypes available in the market is an essential step for the selection of more productive genotypes. The objectives of this study were: a) to ...

Background and Aims: Although the apical development of wheat has been widely described, studies analysing how genetic breeding over the 20th century influenced the developmental phases and its consequences on yield ...

An understanding of processes regulating wheat floret and grain number at higher temperatures is required to better exploit genetic variation. In this study we tested the hypothesis that at higher temperatures, a reduction ...

The nitrogen in wheat is essential for obtaining high yields, not only the dose but also the time and the way of application are critical, reducing potential leaching and the cost of production. The objective is evaluating ...

O trigo é considerado o segundo cereal mais produzido no mundo, com importância significativa na economia agrícola mundial. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi discriminar se existe diferença entre genótipos comerciais de ...
