New wheat study reveals key traits for higher crop productivity!
The study looked at different types of wheat to see which ones produced the most grain. They found that some traits, like the number of tillers and biological yield, were linked to higher grain yield. Traits like grain weight and number of grains per spike were mostly influenced by genes passed down from parents. Early maturing wheat varieties were better for higher yields. Overall, selecting wheat with more tillers and higher biological yield can help increase grain production.
