Journal ArticleDOI
The breeding of crop ideotypes
TL;DR: It is postulated that a successful crop ideotype will be a weak competitor, relative to its mass, and the like plants in the crop community will compete with each other to a minimum degree.
Book ChapterDOI
Competition Among Crop and Pasture Plants
TL;DR: The fuller understanding of competition among plants requires a greater knowledge of the response of plants to their environment, especially of theresponse to the environmental stresses created by neighbors.
Book ChapterDOI
The Convergent Evolution of Annual Seed Crops in Agriculture
C. M. Donald,John Hamblin +1 more
TL;DR: It is considered that the yield potential of annual crop species increase at a faster rate than with empirical selection for yield if suitable ideotypes are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationships between plant form, competitive ability and grain yield in a barley cross
John Hamblin,C. M. Donald +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that plant form in segregating generations of cereals may provide a valuable selection criterion for high grain yield in monocultures.
