This new edition of an established title examines the determination
of grain crop yield from a unique perspective, by concentrating on
the influence of the seed itself. As the food supply for an
expanding world population is based on grain crops harvested for
their seeds, understanding the process of seed growth and its
regulation is crucial to our efforts to increase production and
meet the needs of that population. Yield of grain crops is
determined by their assimilatory processes such as photosynthesis
and the biosynthetic processes in the seed, which are partly
regulated within the seed itself. Providing a timely update in this
field and highlighting the impact of the seed on grain crop yields,
this book: * Describes all aspects of seed growth and development,
including environmental and genetic effects on growth rate and
length of the filling period. * Discusses the role of the seed in
determining the two main yield components: individual seed weight
and number of seeds per unit area. * Uses the concepts and models
that have been developed to understand crop management and yield
improvement. Substantially updated with new research and further
developments of the practical applications of the concepts
explored, this book is essential reading for those concerned with
seed science and crop yield, including agronomists, crop
physiologists, plant breeders, and extension workers. It is also a
valuable source of information for lecturers and graduate students
of agronomy and plant physiology.
