SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Grain yield in cereals is considered one of the most important traits in the perspective of global food supply. It largely depends on several components including grain size and grain number. Several studies have been conducted to understand the genetic and molecular basis of these two traits. In this article we review the information so far obtained on the mechanisms governing seed size in crop plants particularly in cereals and discuss the potential uses of this information to improve the productivity of seeds in cereal crops.
