Relationships between ?13C, ?18O and grain yield in bread wheat genotypes under favourable irrigated and rain-fed conditions (2016)
Journal Article

In previous investigations, carbon isotope composition (δ13C) has been used in C3 cereals to screen for genotypes with high transpiration efficiency and oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) has been shown to correlate with transpiration rate. We examine... Read More about Relationships between ?13C, ?18O and grain yield in bread wheat genotypes under favourable irrigated and rain-fed conditions.

Avoiding lodging in irrigated spring wheat. II. Genetic variation of stem and root structural properties (2016)
Journal Article

Lodging-related traits were evaluated on the CIMMYT Core spring wheat Germplasm Panel (CIMCOG) in the Yaqui Valley of North-West Mexico during three seasons (2010–2013). Genetic variation was significant for all the lodging-related traits in the cros... Read More about Avoiding lodging in irrigated spring wheat. II. Genetic variation of stem and root structural properties.

Leaf photosynthesis and associations with grain yield, biomass and nitrogen-use efficiency in landraces, synthetic-derived lines and cultivars in wheat (2016)
Journal Article

Future genetic progress in wheat grain yield will depend on increasing above-ground biomass and this must be achieved without commensurate increases in N fertilizer inputs to minimise environmental impacts. Our objective was to quantify variation in...

Identification of novel quantitative trait loci for resistance to Fusarium seedling blight caused by Microdochium majus and M. nivale in wheat (2016)
Journal Article

Microdochium nivale and Microdochium majus are important causal agents of Fusarium seedling blight (FSB) and Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat and other cereals worldwide. A doubled-haploid population derived from a cross between the winter wheat R...
