Marker-assisted selection: an approach for precision plant breeding in the twenty-first century (2008, background): “These traits include durable disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance and nutrientand water-use efficiency (Mackill et al. 1999; Slafer et al. 2005; Trethowan et al. 2005).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “Therefore, studying floret generation/degeneration dynamics may be useful to understand further the bases for grain number and yield determination (Slafer et al., 2005).”
Differences in yield, biomass and their components between triticale and wheat grown under contrasting water and nitrogen environments (2012, background): “…the importance of number of grains on grain yield (Ford t al., 1984; Giunta et al., 1999; Santiveri et al., 2004) and (ii) with he concept that yield in cereals is far more limited by sink strength han by assimilate availability during grain filling (e.g. Borrás et al., 004; Slafer et al., 2005).”
Identification of microsatellite markers linked with yield components under drought stress at terminal growth stages in durum wheat (2010, background): “For example, an extended duration of the stem elongation phase without a change in the timing of anthesis has been proposed as a physiological determinant of an increase in the number of grains per m2 without altering the amount of water used by the crop (Slafer et al. 2005).”
Crop responses to temperature and precipitation according to long-term multi-location trials at high-latitude conditions (2010, background): “As elevated temperatures typically hastened development and growth, it is essential that cultivars are bred for adaptation to elevated temperatures that will hence, be less sensitive to increases in developmental rate induced by long-day conditions (Gonzalez et al. 2003, 2005; Slafer et al. 2005).”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “However, there is a minimum height below which yield limitation is evident (Slafer et al., 2005).”
Fruiting efficiency: an alternative trait to further rise wheat yield (2015, background): “…is source-limited during preanthesis and depends mechanistically on the growth of the juvenile spikes in which floret primordia are developing (Slafer et al. 2005 ) and, for particular levels of spike dry weight, on the efficiency with which the resources are used to set grains or fruiting…”
Improving water use in crop production (2008, background): “Several analyses of Mediterranean cropping systems have pointed out that about half of this is due to improvements in the crop, and half due to improved agronomy and management, and the two have combined and facilitated each other (Passioura 2002; Richards 2004; Turner 2004b; Slafer et al. 2005).”
