Revolutionizing Wheat Production: New Hybrids Promise Double Yields by 2050
To increase wheat yield and feed more people, scientists studied hybrid wheat plants. They looked at 91 hybrids and their parents to see which traits led to higher yields. They found that most hybrids had longer grain filling times and bigger grains, leading to better yields. These hybrids also had more protein in their grains, showing potential for improved wheat varieties. This research helps us understand how to create better wheat hybrids for the future.
