Abstract excerpt
Kernel number per spike (KpS) and floret fertility are critical traits for enhancing wheat (Triticum aestivum) grain yield under climate variability. The effects of light on KpS and other yield-related traits depend on intensity, duration, developmental phase, and genotype characteristics. Here, we investigated the effects of low light during a pre-anthesis period around 100 °Cd before heading and a post-anthesis...
