Symmetric response to competition in binary mixtures of cultivars associates with genetic gain in wheat yield

Abstract The evolution in the definition of crop yield—from the ratio of seed harvested to seed sown to the contemporary measure of mass of seed per unit land area―has favoured less competitive phenotypes. Here we use binary mixtures of cultivars spanning five decades of selection for yield and agro...
