Abstract excerpt
Modern wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars have a free-threshing habit, which allows for easy manual or mechanical threshing. However, when harvesting is delayed or extreme weather events occur at harvest time, grain shattering can cause severe loss of harvestable yield. In the past, grain size was considered a predisposing factor as large, plump kernels can lead to buckling and breaking of the outer glume,...
