CD 1104 - extra strong wheat with high yield potential

Raising yield potential in wheat.

Recent advances in crop research have the potential to accelerate genetic gains in wheat, especially if co-ordinated with a breeding perspective. For example, improving photosynthesis by exploiting natural variation in Rubisco's catalytic rate or adopting C(4) metabolism could raise the baseline for yield potential by 50% or more. However, spike fertility must also be improved to permit full ut...

Effects of high temperature on yield and yield components of nine wheat cultivars and a triticale

Systemic scleroderma in Greece: low mortality and strong linkage with HLA-DRB1*1104 allele.

OBJECTIVE Description of Greek patients with scleroderma with reference to (a) major organ disease, (b) autoantibodies, (c) survival rate, and (d) HLA associations. METHODS The clinical files of 254 patients were analysed retrospectively and a standardised clinical chart was completed with age at disease onset, sex, date of first and last visit, clinical and serological findings, organs affec...

Identifying an In-Season Response Index and the Potential to Increase Wheat Yield with Nitrogen

season, while potentially costly, could significantly increase NUE. Current nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of cereal crop production Recently, methods for estimating winter wheat N reis estimated to be near 33%, indicating that much of the applied quirements based on early season estimates of N uptake fertilizer N is not utilized by the plant and is susceptible to loss from and potential yield w...

Physiological Traits Associated with Wheat Yield Potential and Performance under Water-Stress in a Mediterranean Environment

Different physiological traits have been proposed as key traits associated with yield potential as well as performance under water stress. The aim of this paper is to examine the genotypic variability of leaf chlorophyll, stem water-soluble carbohydrate content and carbon isotope discrimination (Δ(13)C), and their relationship with grain yield (GY) and other agronomical traits, under contrastin...
