Genetic changes in durum wheat yield components and associated traits in Italian and Spanish varieties during the 20th century (2007, background): “Actually, the introduction of semidwarf cultivars with Rht genes in wheat is considered to be one of the causes of major advances in plant breeding during the 20th century (Rajaram 2001).”
Drought Stress in Wheat during Flowering and Grain-filling Periods (2014, background): “More than 50% of the area under wheat cultivation is affected by periodic drought (Rajaram, 2001; Pfeiffer et al., 2005).”
Inducing drought tolerance in plants: recent advances. (2010, background): “In view of a projection by Rajaram (2001) more than 50% of the 237 million ha area in the world under wheat cultivation is affected by periodic drought.”
Challenges to wheat production in South Asia (2007, background): “…jump as observed in early 1960s does not appear to happen again, there is need to follow an approach for gradual yield gain in the breeding populations (Rajaram 2001; Singh et al. 2007) in order to break the yield plateau being noticed in the major wheat producing areas of South Asian nations.”
Genetic improvement of barley yield potential and its physiological determinants in Argentina (1944–1998) (2003, background): “Even though the magnitude of recent gains has been noticeable, yields must keep increasing at a similar pace to cope with the demand estimated to come about during the next decades (Byrnes & Bumb, 1998; Dayson, 1999; Rajaram, 2001).”
Wheat improvement in India: present status, emerging challenges and future prospects (2007, methodology): “Using these synthetic wheats, the breeding program in CIMMYT, Mexico has made good progress in developing bread wheats adapted to drier environments (Rajaram 2001; Trethowan et al. 2003; Trethowan and Reynolds 2005).”
Synthetic hexaploid wheat enhances variation and adaptive evolution of bread wheat in breeding processes (2014, background): “Exploiting new genetic variation in elite wheat genetic resources to produce ideal genotypes for breaking yield ceilings is a widespread ambition in wheat breeding efforts (Rajaram, 2002).”
