Developing Better Wheat Based on its 100 Year Yield Data |
Researchers from Northwest Agricultural and Forestry University, China and The University of Western Australia collected and analyzed yield data from a total of 1,850 Chinese wheat varieties from 1920's to 2014 at three wheat producing regions in China. This was done to evaluate and understand the yield-traits related to wheat yield increases and how the traits evolved through the years. This will also be important in creating and developing future breeding strategies for wheat.
