Extending the seasons at both ends? Understanding the physiological and genetic context required for stay green mediated yield increase in wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Elizabeth A. Chapman, Simon Orford, Rebecca Beeby…·Simon Griffiths

This study investigates the relationship between flowering time and staygreen traits in wheat, finding that late heading staygreen lines show increased yield under stress, but staygreen benefits are limited by source-sink dynamics.
