Sugar signaling treatment could boost wheat yields by up to 12%

Enhancing wheat plants' sugar signaling ability could deliver increased yields of up to 12%, according to researchers from Rothamsted, Oxford University and the Rosalind Franklin Institute, published in the journal Nature Biotechnology. That is an order of magnitude greater than the annual yield increases currently being achieved through breeding.

Satellites help determine wheat production of eight Indian states would be 123 million tonnes as of end March

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in a study using its satellites estimated that the total wheat production from eight major wheat growing states of India would be 122.724 million tonnes as of March 31, 2025.

Sugar Signalling Breakthrough Could Increase Wheat Yields by Up to 12%

Breakthrough Field Trials Unveil the Power of Trehalose 6-Phosphate Spray to Boost Wheat Yields by 12% In a landmark advance set to redefine sustainable agriculture, a consortium of researchers from Rothamsted Research, the University of Oxford, and the Rosalind Franklin Institute have demonstrated that treating wheat crops with a membrane-permeable precursor of Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) can significantly enhance grain yields. This discovery, …
