Agronomic and physiological performance of high-yielding wheat and rice in the lower reaches of Yangtze River of China

Understanding agronomic and physiological performance of crop high yield is essential to make strategies for breeding and crop management. This study aimed to identify major agronomic and physiological traits associated with high grain yields of rice and wheat in the wheat–rice rotation system in the lower reaches of Yangtze River of China. Two high-yielding cultivars, each for winter wheat and rice, were field-grown from 2008 to 2010 for 3...
