A review of the global climate change impacts, adaptation, and sustainable mitigation measures (2022, background): “2021) also proved that wheat output is negatively affected by the rising temperatures and also caused adverse effects on biomass productivity (Calderini et al. 1999; Sadras and Slafer 2012).”
Changes in Nitrogen Use Traits Associated with Genetic Improvement for Grain Yield of Maize Hybrids Released in Different Decades (2013, result): “This result supports the concept of a hierarchy of plasticities for yield components and that individual kernel weight has the least plasticity, particularly in comparison to kernel number (Sadras and Slafer, 2012).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “3”
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).”
Prospects of doubling global wheat yields (2013, background): “On the contrary, average grain weight is a more conservative attribute than grain number (Fischer 1985; Savin and Slafer 1991; Sadras and Slafer 2012).”
