Abstract
Since the ground breaking work of Norman Borlaug in the 1960s produced large increases in yields of our major cereal crops, we have seen a gradual decline in annual yield progress. The genetic potential of the yield components harvest index and grain number, which were targeted in the “green revolution” and subsequently by cereal breeders have largely been optimised in our two largest global cereal crops, rice and wheat. Physiologists and...
