Chapter 21. Yield potential

This chapter provides an analysis of the processes determining the yield potential of wheat crops. The structure and function of the wheat crop will be presented and the influence of the environment and genetics on crop growth and development will be examined. Plant breeding strategies for raising yield potential will be described, with particular emphasis on factors controlling photosynthetic capacity and grain sink strength.
