Improving photosynthesis in large-spike wheat boosts yield in rainfed areas. Eight wheat lines were studied over two seasons, showing longer photosynthesis duration and better water retention than the control. Large-spike lines had higher yields and stronger roots, suggesting they are more efficient in forming yield under rainfed conditions.
