What are wheat tillers and how do they contribute to yield
2018年2月22日 · Tillers, especially those that develop in the fall, are needed to achieve high yielding wheat. The plant pictured above has the potential to develop 6 to 7 heads. A wheat stand of 1.65 to 1.7 million plants per acre with this amount of tillering (6 to 7 heads), a 100 bushels per acre yield is possible.
In winter wheat, early leaf and tiller development is important because the number of tillers per plant is a critical yield component (Klepper, Rickman, and Peterson 1982). Determined by environmental conditions, variety selection, and management practices, a single plant can produce up to five tillers (fig. 1).
Tillers in wheat: Good or bad? - Farm Progress
2018年11月29日 · They help a wheat plant to “fill-in” areas with a poor stand and thus provide weed suppression. More tillers can also result in more heads at harvest, although most research has shown that, regardless of the number of tillers produced, 85% to 100% of hard red spring wheat grain yield is produced by the main stem and the T1 and T2 tillers.
Genetic, hormonal, and environmental control of tillering in wheat
2021年10月1日 · Several factors affect the emergence and survival of tillers in wheat: plant population density, nitrogen availability, sugar, temperature, and salinity (Fig. 2). Population density influences tillering cessation via two mechanisms.

2023年1月4日 · In winter wheat, early leaf and tiller development is important because the number of tillers per plant is a critical yield component (Klepper, Rickman, and Peterson 1982). Determined by environmental conditions, variety selection, and management practices, a single plant can produce up to five tillers (fig. 1).
Genetic regulation of wheat plant architecture and future …
The tiller angle is an important regulator of wheat plant architecture and yield, with significant scientific value. Understanding how the wheat tiller angle works, as well as its compact and prostrate forms, is critical for producing new crops with ideal plant structures suitable for dense planting and high yield.
• Learning to "read" plants, that is, to identify individual leaves and tillers. • Using growing degree day concepts to track plant development. • Discovering the expected tillering pattern for unstressed plants. • Finding missing tillers and interpreting these absences in terms of plant stresses and when they occurred.
Winter wheat management: What are tillers and how do they …
2019年1月22日 · Tillers, especially those that develop in the fall, are needed to achieve high yielding wheat. The plant pictured above has the potential to develop 6 to 7 heads. A wheat stand of 1.65 to 1.7 million plants per acre with this amount of …
Optimizing tiller production and survival for grain yield …
2015年9月30日 · Tillering in wheat (Triticum aestivum) determines plant canopy size, photosynthetic area and, more importantly, the number of spikes bearing grains at maturity (fertile shoots), which is a key component of yield.
Genetic, hormonal, and environmental control of tillering in wheat
2021年4月1日 · Key message: A novel high-tillering dwarf mutant in common wheat Wangshuibai was characterized and mapped to facilitate breeding for plant height and tiller and the future cloning of the...
