Abstract excerpt
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production must be doubled in the next 25 years to meet the global food demand. Harvest index (HI) is an important indicator of efficient partitioning of photosynthetic assimilates to grains. Reducing competition from alternative sinks, such as stems, and deviating assimilates toward grain increase grain number (GN), HI, and grain yield (GY). Novel partitioning traits have great...
