Boosting wheat yield by targeting key traits for better harvests
Researchers studied different wheat varieties to understand how certain traits affect grain yield under different sowing conditions. They found that traits like days to maturity, tiller number, grain weight, and yield per plant are closely linked to grain yield. Specifically, increasing biological yield per plant and grain weight directly improves grain yield in wheat. This suggests that focusing on these traits can lead to better wheat varieties with higher yields.
