Drought is a major environmental constraint to crop distribution and productivity. Stem water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) buffer wheat grain yield against conditions unfavorable for photosynthesis during the grain filling stage. In this study, 262 winter wheat accessions and 209 genome-wide SSR markers were collected and used to undertake association analysis based on a mixed linear model (MLM)...

Nitrogen (N) nutrition, post-anthesis temperature and drought-induced changes in the kinetics of accumulation of dry mass, total grain N and protein fractions (albumins-globulins, amphiphils, gliadins, and glutenins) contents were examined for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Crops were grown in controlled environment tunnels in 1994 and 1998. In 1994, five post-anthesis temperatures averag...

in order to determine traits which affected grain yield in optimal irrigation and terminal drought deficit conditions, a field experiments with 16 spring bread wheat genotypes as randomized complete block design with three replications conducted in neishabour during 2009-10 cropping seasons. results of combined analysis of variance showed, significant differences between many of traits vegetati...

Shortening the period of rice cropping enables farmers to reduce irrigation water in tropical lowlands. However, grain yield short-duration is often restricted by poor filling, whose causes are yet unknown. This study evaluated source–sink balance, which closely associated with rice. We compared percentage filled grains and stem nonstructural carbohydrates a popular cultivar high-yielding hybri...

to study the inheritance of drought tolerance in traits in bread wheat, 7 cultivars of bread wheat with their f1 progeny produced through a half diallel mating design, were planted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in normal and drought condition in seed and plant improvement institute karaj, in year 2004. analysis of variance showed significant difference for all the tr...

Protein content (PC) is a crucial factor that determines the end-use and nutritional quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Glutamine synthetase (GS), which is a major participant in nitrogen metabolism, can convert inorganic nitrogen into organic nitrogen. Although many studies have been conducted on PC and GS, a dynamic analysis of all of the filling stages has not been conducted. Therefore, 1...
