“…Harvest time is also important, as harvesting at the optimum stage of seed development results in higher yield in both winter and spring crops [128,139], and swathing before the crop reaches maturity reduces yield [129]. Delayed harvest was found to have adverse effects on yield in other crops including wheat [124], soybean [131], lentil [132], and chickpea [130]. In addition to harvest time, seeding time also affected crop yield in Brassica, where early seeding gave higher yields [129].…”

In wild habitats, fruit dehiscence is a critical strategy for seed dispersal; however, in cultivated crops it is one of the major sources of yield loss. Therefore, indehiscence of fruits, pods, etc., was likely to be one of the first traits strongly selected in crop domestication. Even with the historical selection against dehiscence in early domesticates, it is a trait still targeted in many breeding programs, particularly in minor or underutilized crops. Here, we review dehiscence in pulse (grain legume) crops, which are of growing importance as a source of protein in human and livestock diets, and which have received less attention than cereal crops and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We specifically focus on the (i) history of indehiscence in domestication across legumes, (ii) structures and the mechanisms involved in shattering, (iii) the molecular pathways underlying this important trait, (iv) an overview of the extent of crop losses due to shattering, and the effects of environmental factors on shattering, and, (v) efforts to reduce shattering in crops. While our focus is mainly pulse crops, we also included comparisons to crucifers and cereals because there is extensive research on shattering in these taxa.

“…The major factors for obtaining high yield of wheat are to grow varieties well adapted to local conditions, and to use high quality and healthy planting materials (Van Gastel et al 2002;Taylor et al 2006). The advanced breeding lines used in this study were received from IARC and were selected for their good agronomic performance, as well as their resistance to major foliar diseases (Rahmatov et al 2010).…”

Wheat seed-borne diseases are among the major constraints reducing crop yield and the quality of seed and grain. In this study we aimed to evaluate the type and prevalence of fungal seed-borne diseases in Tajik wheat seed samples. Particular emphasis was given to common bunt resistance in advanced wheat breeding materials. Furthermore, we aimed to identify options for improving the seed quality. Seed samples collected from two different locations in Tajikistan were tested by conventional seed-health testing methods for presence of seed-borne diseases. Nineteen advanced wheat breeding lines and three varieties collected from the Tajik wheat breeding program were screened using an artificial inoculation test for their response to common bunt. Significant differences were found between the locations and genotypes concerning presence of common bunt and black point. Fourteen fungal species, where most of them are pathogenic for wheat, were identified in the seed samples. Tilletia laevis, T. tritici, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Stemphylium spp., and Drechslera spp. were the major pathogenic fungi observed in collected wheat samples. Common bunt was predominantly represented by T. laevis. No strong resistance was found in the studied Tajik wheat material, although a low percentage of infection was found in one line (SHARK/ F4105W2.1), while the material was evaluated for common bunt resistance. In managing seed-borne diseases, breeding of resistant varieties should be given a priority, while cultural practices such as preventing contamination and monitoring seed health status should also be considered, as a last resort the use of chemical seed treatments are advised.

“…Rapid changes in temperature and humidity were also reported to increase pod shattering in soybean [131], especially when a rainy season was followed by dry weather during harvesting in soybean [133]. Although chickpea is a low-shattering crop, pod shattering could still cause yield loss under high temperatures [130].…”
