  1. Wheat heat-tolerance traits map to many genomic loci
    Genetic dissection of yield traits and heat tolerance in wheat using a MAGIC population identifies SNPs and major loci informing heat-resilient breeding strategies.
  2. TiO2 foliar spray improved late-sown wheat yield and quality
    Foliar TiO2 application mitigates late-sown wheat yield losses by enhancing photosynthetic physiology, antioxidant defense, and grain quality across critical growth stages.
  3. High molybdenum with low nitrogen improved wheat yield-related measures
    Study examines nitrogen-molybdenum interactions in winter wheat, finding that elevated molybdenum under reduced nitrogen enhances yield and nitrogen use efficiency.
  4. Stable wheat height loci identified on chromosomes 3D, 4D, 5A, and 7A
    Novel wheat height loci identified through genome-wide association analysis in Sichuan cultivars, validated across environments with implications for marker-assisted breeding and yield optimization
  5. Durum wheat traits showed mixed additive and non-additive inheritance
    Hayman's diallel analysis reveals generation-specific inheritance patterns for yield traits in durum wheat, informing breeding strategies for semi-arid conditions.
  6. Planting density of 300 plants per square meter gave the best yield
    Two-year field study shows hybrid wheat Jingmai 17 sown late achieves optimal yield and source-sink balance at 300 plants·m−2, improving grain filling and yield stability.
