Analysis of wheat yield and climatic trends in Mexico
Wheat yields in Mexico, which represent an important measure of breeding and management progress in developing world wheat production, have increased by 25% over the past two decades. Using a combination of mechanistic and statistical models, we show that much of this increase can be attributed to climatic trends in Northwest states, in particular cooling of growing season nighttime temperature...
متن کاملRaising yield potential in wheat.
Recent advances in crop research have the potential to accelerate genetic gains in wheat, especially if co-ordinated with a breeding perspective. For example, improving photosynthesis by exploiting natural variation in Rubisco's catalytic rate or adopting C(4) metabolism could raise the baseline for yield potential by 50% or more. However, spike fertility must also be improved to permit full ut...
متن کاملReckoning the moment of reckoning in spontaneous voluntary movement.
In everyday life, movements are sometimes triggered by external sensory stimuli, like when the traffic light ahead turns from green to red and you move your foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal in response. But many of our voluntary movements are spontaneous, meaning that they are not tied to any recent stimulus in the current sensory environment. This capacity affords us what Gold and Sh...

متن کاملImproving yield and quality traits of durum wheat by introgressing chromosome segments from hexaploid wheat.
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum durum; 2n = 4x = 28; genome AABB) has long been an important food resource for human diets. The projected increase of the world's population to 9.1 billion by 2050 has highlighted the importance and urgency for improving the yield and quality performance of durum wheat. A backcrossed population, which was derived from the durum wheat variety 'Bellaroi' (recurrent ...
