Possible association of grain protein content, harvest index and biological yield in winter wheat populations

Creator:: Costa, Jose Maria
Abstract:: A negative relation between grain protein content and grain yield is frequently observed in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) i.e. as grain yield increases, grain protein decreases. It has been suggested that the inverse relation between grain yield and protein is in part the result of developing high yielding...
