Impact of pre-anthesis photosynthetic traits on yield of wheat cultivars under in vivo condition: insight based on biochemical models

Photosynthesis could be improved by increasing photosynthetic rate per unit leaf area and by optimizing light interception and utilization through modified canopy architecture, and also by modifying photosynthetic duration. The yield potential of wheat is determined by the accumulated photosynthates over the entire growing season or the fraction of the total biomass partitioned into grain at harvest. Significant correlation between grain yield...
