Pre-anthesis development and number of fertile florets in wheat as affected by photoperiod sensitivity genes Ppd-D1and Ppd-B1 (2006, background): “This numerical approach may be unsound for predicting the effect of manipulating a trait to alter wheat yield because numerical components are usually negatively correlated (Fischer, 1984; Slafer, 2003, and several papers quoted therein).”
Prospects for crop production under drought: research priorities and future directions (2005, background): “Plant breeding has the potential to deliver HSYD but requires the identification of key traits and their incorporation into high-yielding varieties using conventional or biotechnological tools (Slafer, 2003; Reynolds et al., 2005a).”
Identifying the critical period for waterlogging on yield and its components in wheat and barley (2014, background): “In wheat, spikes contribution to determine grain number per unit area is less important than in barley, due to the compensation capacity of increasing the grain number per spike (Slafer 2003).”
Differences in yield, biomass and their components between triticale and wheat grown under contrasting water and nitrogen environments (2012, result): “Similarly to what was demonstrated in wheat (Fischer, 1985; iralles et al., 2000; González et al., 2005a,b; Slafer, 2003) and arley (Arisnabarreta and Miralles, 2008), the acquisition of dry atter by the spike during floret development just before anthesis eemed critical for the survival of floret…”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “Again, eco-physiological knowledge of the traits in question, and of how to measure them is crucial (Araus et al., 2003a, b; Slafer, 2003) and research efforts must become increasingly more interdisciplinary before MAS can be successfully applied to complex traits (Sinclair et al.”
