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...
متن کاملAccelerating yield potential in soybean: potential targets for biotechnological improvement.
Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is the world's most widely grown legume and provides an important source of protein and oil. Global soybean production and yield per hectare increased steadily over the past century with improved agronomy and development of cultivars suited to a wide range of latitudes. In order to meet the needs of a growing world population without unsustainable expansion of the la...
متن کاملYield Potential Trends of Tropical Rice since the Release of IR8 and the Challenge of Increasing Rice Yield Potential
In 1966, IRRI released IR8, the first high-yielding modern rice cultivar for the irrigated tropical lowlands. Since the release of IR8 in 1966, 42 additional indica rice (Oryza Since then, the primary emphasis of rice improvement sativa L.) cultivars developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for the irrigated and favorable rainfed lowlands have has been directed towards inco...
متن کاملOil palm natural diversity and the potential for yield improvement
African oil palm has the highest productivity amongst cultivated oleaginous crops. Species can constitute a single crop capable to fulfill the growing global demand for vegetable oils, which is estimated to reach 240 million tons by 2050. Two types of vegetable oil are extracted from the palm fruit on commercial scale. The crude palm oil and kernel palm oil have different fatty acid profiles, w...
متن کاملYield Potential of Sugar Beet – Have We Hit the Ceiling?
The yield of sugar beet has continuously increased in the past decades. The question arises, whether this progress will continue in the future. A key factor for increasing yield potential of the crop is breeding progress. It was related to a shift in assimilate partitioning in the plant toward more storage carbohydrates (sucrose), whereas structural carbohydrates (leaves, cell wall compounds) u...
