Boosting wheat yield and quality with key traits for agricultural improvement
The study looked at 60 different types of wheat to see how different traits are connected to each other. They found that traits like plant height, weight of grains, and how much gluten is in the wheat are important for improving the yield of wheat. The researchers also discovered that the amount of grain produced by each plant is directly influenced by how much the plant grows and how efficiently it uses resources. This information can help farmers and scientists work on developing better wheat varieties in the future.
