Effects of a photoperiod-response gene Ppd-D1 on yield potential and drought resistance in UK winter wheat (2004, background): “It has been suggested that increasing crop growth during the stem-extension period may be critical for increasing grains m−2 through breeding in future years (Slafer et al., 2001).”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “Details of this hypothetical alternative can be found in Slafer et al. (2001).”
Pre-anthesis development and number of fertile florets in wheat as affected by photoperiod sensitivity genes Ppd-D1and Ppd-B1 (2006, background): “…to enhance assimilate availability for spike growth and to improve wheat yield would be to increase the duration of the late reproductive phase without changing the anthesis date, through manipulation of the photoperiod sensitivity of individual developmental phases (Slafer et al., 1996, 2001).”
Plant breeding and drought in C3 cereals: what should we breed for? (2002, background): “An example in both wheat and barley is to increase the duration of the spike growth period to allow more assimilate supply to the growing ¯orets, thus reducing the very high rate of ¯oret abortion just before anthesis (Miralles and Richards, 2000; Miralles et al., 2000; Slafer et al., 2001).”
Determining optimum sowing date of wheat using CSM-CERES-Wheat model (2015, background): “It has been suggested that decreasing duration of the stem elongation phase (end of tillering to anthesis stages) would result in a lower number of fertile florets (Slafer et al., 2001).”
Vernalization and photoperiod responses in wheat pre-flowering reproductive phases (2002, background): “The effect of vernalization as well as the trend to interact with photoperiod during the late pre-fowering reproductive phase should be kept in mind when attempting to modify the sensitivity to photoperiod during that phase (Slafer et al., 1996, 2001).”
Fruiting efficiency: an alternative trait to further rise wheat yield (2015, background): “…duration of the spike growth period (or more broadly the duration of the stem elongation phase) so that for a constant rate of growth and level of partitioning, the longer the phase the higher the spike dry weight at anthesis (Slafer et al. 2001 ; Miralles and Slafer 2007 ; González et al. 2011b ).”
