Optimizing dry-matter partitioning for increased spike growth, grain number and harvest index in spring wheat (2019, background): “87 One approach to increase spike growth at anthesis, hence grains m, is by increasing the relative 88 durations of the phenological stages involved in spike growth (Miralles et al. 2000; Slafer et al. 2005; 89 Gonzalez et al. 2011).”
Pre-anthesis development and number of fertile florets in wheat as affected by photoperiod sensitivity genes Ppd-D1and Ppd-B1 (2006, background): “…the same relationship between the duration of the late reproductive phase and the number of fertile florets at anthesis is observed when changing the photoperiod environment (Miralles et al., 2000; González et al., 2003a) or, alternatively, the photoperiod sensitivity during this specific phase.”
Yield improvement and adaptation of wheat to water-limited environments in Australia—a case study (2014, background): “Evidence suggests that extending the spike growth phase will increase grain number and therefore the potential yield (Miralles et al. 2000).”
Fruiting efficiency: an alternative trait to further rise wheat yield (2015, background): “…model that establishing that grain number is related to growth during the “critical period for grain number determination” (e.g., for barley: Miralles et al. 2000 ; Prystupa et al. 2004 ; Arisnabarreta and Miralles 2010 ; maize: Otegui and Bonhomme 1998 ; Vega et al. 2001 ; Rattalino…”
