However, if they harvest the immature wheat ahead of schedule, the income will be Ri. According to the consistent prices on the Chinese grain market Rm > Ri. Correspondingly, farmers invested upfront planting costs Cm and Ci, Cm > Ci. In China, farmers who grow wheat receive government ...
Samples were placed in liquid nitrogen after harvest and stored at −80 °C. The samples were ground into a fine powder in liquid nitrogen in a ceramic mortar and pestle to isolate RNA using the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit following the manufacturer’s protocol. The quality of RNA was ...
[52]. If extreme tolerant genotypes could be selected at seedling stage, first, workload of extensive selection will be reduced by focusing on extreme genotypes with superior seedling performances. Meanwhile, breeders do not have to wait until harvest to identify HT performance of each generation,...
Phenotypic analyses of wheat accessions for eight plant architecture traits.aOverview of the eight traits in wheat. The shortest and longest tillers were selected from fertile tillers with spikes. The length of the main shoot as the length of the strongest tiller. The difference between the length...
The successful land reform paid dividends to wheat farmers this season following the attainment of a resounding record wheat harvest of 467 905 tonnes compared ...
(Levy and Feldman2022; Marcussen et al.2014;Wang et al.2023). The genome plasticity of bread wheat is a key factor in its success under domestication, and nowadays bread wheat comprises about 95% of the overall wheat harvest (Dubcovsky and Dvorak2007). The large genome size, high ...
Plant architecture is closely associated with the adaptability of a crop to variable environments, assimilate accumulation, and harvest indexing [2]. According to Donald [3], a crop ideotype is a weak competitor and makes a minimum demand on resources per unit of dry matter produced. An ideal...
Notably, within China, winter wheat takes on a pivotal role, contributing to approximately 85% of the nation’s total grain output during the summer harvest3. This prominence is attributed to its exceptional yield, elevated protein content, and adaptability to local environmental conditions and ...
China is the largest wheat producer and consumer in the world, producing around 133.6 million metric tons wheat with a harvest area of 23.7 Mha in 2019 (http://www.fao.org/statistics/en/). However, owing to ongoing climate change and agronomic management, wheat yield has been stagnated in ...
