Identifying physiological traits to optimize assimilate partitioning and spike fertility for yield potential in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes

Although wheat demand is expected to increase along with a projected growing population, the global rate of wheat yield increase appears to be declining. Genetic progress in yield potential in the past has been achieved mainly through increases in grains m-2 and harvest index with no major changes i...
