The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

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).”
Raising yield potential of wheat. II. Increasing photosynthetic capacity and efficiency. (2011, background): “Recent experiments (Reynolds et al., 2005) demonstrate that increasing the strength of the sink spike of field-grown wheat, by artificially boosting grain number per spike, can stimulate flag-leaf photosynthesis during grain-filling.”
Wheat physiology: a review of recent developments (2011, background): “A component of this apparent insensitivity is seen in the increased Pmax during grain filling when GN was artificially increased in four modern varieties (Reynolds et al. 2005).”
Spectral Reflectance to Estimate Genetic Variation for In-Season Biomass, Leaf Chlorophyll, and Canopy Temperature in Wheat (2006, background): “…relatively recently biomass was not commonly associated with yield gains, increases in biomass of spring wheat have been reported (Waddington et al., 1986; Sayre et al., 1997) and more recently in association with yield increases (Singh et al., 1998; Reynolds et al., 2005; Shearman et al., 2005).”
