Other claims from this paper (13)
- Association The highest yielding tin line yielded 5% more than all other lines.
- Intervention effect The tin gene decreased fertile spike number by 11%.
- Intervention effect The tin gene increased the number of kernels per spike by 9%.
- Intervention effect The tin gene increased kernel weight by 2%.
- Intervention effect The tin gene reduced above-ground biomass by 7%.
- Intervention effect Increasing sowing density from 50 to 100 kg/ha had little influence on yield or yield-related characteristics of restricted and freely tillering lines.
- Intervention effect At the higher sowing rate, tin lines yielded 0.2 t/ha more than freely tillering lines.
- Intervention effect At the lower sowing rate, the tin gene had no effect on yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased spike number in all lines.
- Association Spike number in tin lines remained about 20% lower than in freely tillering cultivars.
- Intervention effect Wheat lines containing the tin gene yielded 6% more than their near-isogenic pairs under high nitrogen status and terminal drought.
- Intervention effect Grain protein concentration was unaffected by the tin gene at high grain protein sites.
- Intervention effect The tin gene had a positive effect on grain protein concentration at lower grain protein sites.
