Contribution of green organs to grain weight in dryland wheat from the 1940s to the 2010s in Shaanxi Province, China

Abstract Eight dryland winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.), which were widely cultivated from the 1940s to the 2010s in Shaanxi Province, China, were selected and grown in plots, and two water treatments (irrigation and drought) were used to identify the contribution of ears, leaves and st...
