Genetic Gain in Yield and Associated Changes in Agronomic Traits in Wheat Cultivars Developed Between 1900 and 2016 for Irrigated Ecosystems of Northwestern Plain Zone of India

Abstract: Knowledge about the yield gain over the years due to associated changes in the yield component traits is essential for a critical understanding of yield-limiting factors. To estimate genetic gain in grain yield (GY) and component agronomic traits of wheat varieties released between 1900 and 2016 for northwestern plain zone (NWPZ) of India and to identify agronomic and/or genetic basis of the realized gains, two sets of wheat varieties comprising mega varieties and two recently developed varieties were evaluate… Show more

“…Application of these methods could enable an appropriate selection of stable cultivars in order to respond to the high year-to-year variable climate of the Pannonian Plain and South-eastern Europe. To determine a genetic gain achieved through breeding activities, experiments with historical cultivar sets were conducted (Yadav et al, 2021). Research like this has so far been done on a significantly smaller number of genotypes in a shorter time under the environments of South-eastern Europe.…”

“…Since then, yield gain rates are declining in many parts of the world (Yadav et al, 2010). In one of our recent assessments of varieties released over a century-long period (since 1905) for India's north-western plain zone, the wheat yield has grown at the rate of 0.544% (Yadav et al, 2021).…”

“…Naturally, triticale line couldn't be at least 10% upper than the production of the Bezostaia 1 variety. Since the beginning of this century, genetic progress in wheat has slowed, which means that genetic variability has reached a maximum [1,14,3,8,11] the threshold that would could be overcome by improving the plant phenotype [2,5], due to increasing the crop growing season [17,6,12] more fertile flowers/spikelet, as well as a high availability of photosynthesis products [16,20,19,13].…”
