Adaptation of wheat, barley, canola, field pea and chickpea to the thermal environments of Australia (2015, background): “Annual crops accommodate environmental variation through seed number, whereas natural and agronomic selection has favoured stable seed size (Sadras 2007; Sadras and Slafer 2012; Slafer et al. 2014).”
Maximum Attainable Wheat Yield and Resource‐Use Efficiency in the Southern Great Plains (2015, background): “In the next few paragraphs, we extrapolate the analysis of Slafer et al. (2014) from plant components to weather variables, to understand how the observed weather during the growing season dictated record-breaking yields in the southern Great Plains.”
Agronomic Practices for Reducing Wheat Yield Gaps: A Quantitative Appraisal of Progressive Producers (2019, positive): “Large spike population is essential to sustain increased wheat yield (Slafer et al., 2014), and in low-density crops, these result from tiller formation and survival, which are greater in individual plants (Rana et al.”
Fruiting efficiency: an alternative trait to further rise wheat yield (2015, background): “Thus, genotypic differences in yield are frequently strongly related to those in grain number (Garcia et al. 2013 ; Slafer et al. 2014 ), as it is more plastic than grain weight (Sadras and Slafer 2012 ).”
