Designing future barley ideotypes using a crop model ensemble (2017, background): “In addition, increased grain number, grain size, and consequently HI have contributed to genetic yield improvements in spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (Peltonen-Sainio et al., 2007).”
Variation in harvest index of modern spring barley, oat and wheat cultivars adapted to northern growing conditions (2007, background): “…the major determinant of grain yield (Fischer 1985; Slafer & Andrade 1989, 1991; Garcia del Moral et al. 2003) also in northern growing conditions (Peltonen-Sainio et al. 2007), grain weight also plays an important, though often secondary, role in yield formation in the spring cereal species…”
Spring wheat response to timing of water deficit through sink and grain filling capacity (2009, background): “multi-location experiments (Peltonen-Sainio et al., 2007).”
