Growing Degree Days during the Late Reproductive Phase Determine Spike Density and Cognate Yield Traits

Growing Degree Days during the Late Reproductive Phase Determine Spike Density and Cognate Yield Traits

Drought has become more frequent in central Asia causing large losses in cereal yield. To surmount the existing problem, it is imperative to emphasize early maturing varietal development. However, the impact of heat units on spike morphology and its relationship with yield potential is still unclear...
