Winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated for
their response to water stress and adaptability to a wide range of
moisture limited environments. Grain yield was analyzed for ten
cultivars at six locations across four years. Regression of the cultivar
mean on the year-location mean was used as a measure...

fertilization, (2) formation of the lower endosperm cells, (3)
termination of nuclear divisions, and (4) initiation of protein
bodies.
The first manuscript...
