TL;DR: If farmers in China could achieve average grain yields equivalent to 80% of this treatment by 2030, total production of rice, wheat and maize in China would be more than enough to meet the demand for direct human consumption and a substantially increased demand for animal feed, while decreasing the environmental costs of intensive agriculture.

TL;DR: Results suggested that the exogenous PP333 or GA3 application significantly changed the risk of lodging occurred not only by altering the plant height but also byChanging the physical strength of the basal part of the culm internode, especially, altering the lignin accumulation and its related enzymes activities in basal internode.

TL;DR: The results showed that decreasing plant density enhanced culm quality, as revealed by increased culm diameter, wall thickness and dry weight per unit length, and improved the structure of sclerenchyma and vascular bundles by increasing lignification, resulting in strong lodging resistance in wheat.

TL;DR: In this paper, a field experiment was conducted over 3 years using five N rates and two winter wheat cultivars (a larger spike cultivar (TN) and a multiple spike (LX) in the North China Plain (NCP) to evaluate whether a larger spike can accumulate more post-anthesis biomass and achieve higher yields and to determine the optimal N management strategies for the two cultivars.

TL;DR: In this article, the cross-talk interactions of nitric oxide and calcium in common wheat under NaCl stress were examined in a saline culture solution to examine the crosstalk interactions between the two kinds of signaling molecules.
