Physiological traits associated with increasing grain number in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and their genetic regulation

Previous studies suggest that genetic variation in grain yield potential in wheat is associated with grain sink strength under favourable conditions, which is mainly determined by grain number. Even in suboptimal conditions, increasing grain sink strength raises yield potential and attainable yield...
