Fruiting efficiency: an alternative trait to further rise wheat yield (2015, background): “As fi nal grain weight would be related, albeit not necessarily linearly, to the size of the fl orets (Calderini et al. 2001 ; Hasan et al. 2011 ) increasing fruiting effi ciency would concomitantly reduce the size of all grains and consequently the average grain weight (Fig.”
Prospects of doubling global wheat yields (2013, background): “Accordingly, the relationships between grain weight and ovary weight (Hasan et al. 2011), and the similarity between grain size dynamics and expansins (proteins which loosen cell walls) expression (Lizana et al. 2010) may be exploited to develop tools for wheat breeding programs aimed at increasing…”
