After praying for the moisture to carry the High Plains wheat crop through to an abundant harvest, some have received more rainfall than they bargained for, leading to a significant risk of fusarium ...

A study from the University of Adelaide has discovered molecular pathways regulated by a gene traditionally used to control wheat-flowering behavior could be altered to achieve greater yields. The ...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a cornerstone of global food security, and predicting its phenological stages, especially anthesis, is critical for optimizing breeding strategies and improving yields.

A study from the University of Adelaide has discovered molecular pathways regulated by a gene traditionally used to control wheat-flowering behaviour could be altered to achieve greater yields. The ...

A gene that triggers flowering in wheat plants has been isolated for the first time, making it possible for scientists to one day develop more productive crops. A team of scientists at University of ...
