“…The present results showed that the application of different sowing times caused substantial differences in the growth dynamics of the wheat genotypes, plant development patterns, and yield components. By contrast, the vegetative phase was considerably shorter with late autumn sowing, as the plants were exposed sooner to an inductive environment, so the period until the initiation of stem elongation was shorter in terms of calendar days (Kiss et al, 2014). This was clearly reflected by the present findings.…”

“…The phase between booting and heading was less influenced by the environment, but after heading sensitivity increased again towards the final part of rapid stem elongation. However, a significant correlation was found between the second stage of rapid stem elongation (from booting to heading) and the number of spikelets per spike in both the present and previous work (Kiss et al, 2014). The aim of the present work was to determine the extent to which the various phases influence yield components and how this depends on the weather conditions.…”

“…A positive correlation was also found between the duration of photosynthetic activity in the flag leaf and the grain yield under optimal nutrient supplies (Gaju et al, 2011;Serrago et al, 2013;Borrill et al, 2015). The time between first node appearance and the start of rapid stem elongation had a significant effect on the number of reproductive tillers, and a close association was observed between the second half of rapid stem elongation (from the boot stage to heading) and the number of spikelets per spike Slafer, 2001, 2002;Kiss et al, 2011Kiss et al, , 2014. Extending the duration of phase intervals with a decisive influence on yield components without modifying the total time to anthesis has been proposed as a promising breeding tool, but this requires detailed knowledge of the mechanism of the genetic and environmental regulation of the start and duration of various phases and their interactions (Chen et al, 2009(Chen et al, , 2010.…”

“…The later timing of stem elongation helps to avoid frost damage in early spring, whereas earlier maturity helps to avoid hot dry weather during summer. The time between first node appearance and the start of rapid stem elongation had a significant effect on the number of reproductive tillers, and a close association was observed between the second half of rapid stem elongation (from the boot stage to heading) and the number of spikelets per spike Slafer, 2001, 2002;Kiss et al, 2011Kiss et al, , 2014. A longer vegetative phase generates more biomass (due to the longer nutrient storage period), and an extended stem elongation phase is required to achieve a higher number of fertile florets or spikelets, whereas a longer grainfilling period may lead to increased grain weight in the spikes (Kirby, 1988;Slafer and Rawson, 1996;Slafer, 2001, 2002;Araus et al, 2002;González et al, 2002González et al, , 2003aGonzález et al, , 2005Kiss et al, 2011;Dreccer et al, 2014;González-Navarro et al, 2015, 2016.…”

“…The time between first node appearance and the start of rapid stem elongation had a significant effect on the number of reproductive tillers, and a close association was observed between the second half of rapid stem elongation (from the boot stage to heading) and the number of spikelets per spike Slafer, 2001, 2002;Kiss et al, 2011Kiss et al, , 2014. More time is also available for storing larger quantities of nutrients, which is beneficial during grain filling (Whitechurch and Slafer, 2001;González et al, 2003a;Kiss et al, 2014). However, variations in environmental parameters in different years under field conditions may lead to considerable variability in phenotypic responses, often leading to contradictory results (Snape et al, 1985;Worland, 1996;Worland et al, 1998;Kato et al, 2000).…”

The main aim of the experiments was to demonstrate the possible correlation between developmental and morphological traits and yield components under variable climatic conditions. For this purpose, a collection of 188 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes with a heterogeneous gene pool was included in a 3‐yr field experiment applying normal and late sowing dates each year. Under these conditions, almost all the traits were significantly influenced by the genotype, which had the greatest effect on the morphological traits and yield components (explaining 20–58 and 50–60% of the phenotypic variance for the two trait groups, respectively). In the case of plant development, however, the year effect, particularly in the late sowing treatment, was more significant than that of the genotype. Sowing date had the strongest effect on the early developmental phases, explaining 50% of the phenotypic variance, whereas the year had a significant influence on the late developmental phases, being responsible for 37 to 53% of the phenotypic variance. The turning point between the two factors was during the first phase of rapid stem elongation. The environmental driven variation in developmental patterns led to significant variation in yield‐related traits, which ranged from 4.6 (average thousand‐kernel weight) to 16.3% (average seed number) with normal sowing, and from 2.9 (average seed weight) to 29.4% (average thousand‐kernel weight) under late sowing conditions. The significance of the two intervals, from sowing to the start of rapid (intensive) stem elongation and from the start of stem elongation to the boot stage (Z49), was most apparent in the case of yield‐related traits.

An important objective of wheat improvement programmes is to breed varieties for high yield in optimum conditions and for minimum yield reduction under stress-prone conditions such as heat and drought. Analyses of yield and its components in multiple years allow a comprehensive and comparative understanding of genetic yield potential and stress-tolerance mechanisms in the study germplasm. The present study was carried out to evaluate performance of elite varieties and landraces of spring durum wheat under different water regimes, determine the repeatability of the examined traits, and identify superior genotypes for their potential use in breeding for drought tolerance. A total of 97 accessions of spring durum wheat (T. durum Desf.) were evaluated under rain-fed and well-watered conditions in the nursery of the Centre for Agricultural Research at Martonvásár, Hungary (2011. The experiments were laid out in an unbalanced, incomplete alpha lattice block design. The trait with the lowest broad-sense repeatability was seed length (0.075), while high h 2 values were observed for heading date (0.89), thousand-grain weight (0.85) and the protein content (0.85). Grain yield showed moderate level of repeatability (0.53) across the three years. The principal component analysis revealed that grain yield (t/ha) is positively associated with the fertile tiller number, chlorophyll content values at early waxy ripeness stages and plant height. Based on biplot analysis, 'DP-133′, 'DP-017′ and 'DP-061′ proved to be the best durum cultivars in terms of yield whereas genotypes 'DP-011′, 'DP-185′, 'DP-126′ and 'DP-136′ preceded them with their good yield stability.

The current study evaluated the effect of sowing date (early, mid-August or timely, mid-September) on two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (Hereford, Mariboss) with different rates of nitrogen (N) (0–225 kg total N/ha) applied as animal manure (AM; cattle slurry) or mineral fertilizers (N: phosphorus: potassium; NPK). Overwinter plant N uptake and soil mineral N content were determined during 2014/15, while harvest yields (grain, straw, N content) were determined during 2014/15 and 2015/16. Overwinter uptake of N was 14 kg N/ha higher in early than in timely-sown wheat. Despite very different yield levels in 2015 and 2016 harvests, the advantage of early sowing on grain yields was similar (1.1 and 0.9 t/ha); straw yield benefits were greater in 2015 (1.7 t/ha more) than in 2016 (0.4 t/ha more). In 2015 and 2016, N offtake was 35 and 17 kg N/ha higher in early than in timely-sown wheat, respectively. The mineral N fertilizer value of cattle slurry averaged 50%. Early sowing increased the apparent N recovery (ANR) for wheat regardless of nutrient source. However, ANR was substantially higher for NPK (82% in 2015; 52% in 2016) than for AM (39% in 2015; 27% in 2016). Performance of the two cultivars did not differ consistently with respect to the effect of early sowing on crop yield, N concentration and offtake, or ANR. Within the north-west European climatic region, moving the sowing time of winter wheat from mid-September to mid-August provides a significant yield and N offtake benefit.
