New wheat varieties promise higher yields and better photosynthesis performance.
The study looked at different types of wheat varieties to see which ones had the best yield and photosynthetic performance during the grain filling stage. They found that Zhengmai 004 had the highest yield, with better tiller and panicle numbers. This variety also had higher chlorophyll content and better photosynthetic performance, leading to a higher grain filling rate. This means that maintaining good photosynthesis in the later stages of grain filling can help increase yield.
