Dense plant cultivation is an efficient approach to improve maize production by maximizing the utilization of energy and nutrients. However, dense plant populations may aggravate the abortion rate of young grains, resulting in fewer kernels per ear. The rate and duration of grain-filling play decisive roles in maize grain yield.

The photosynthetic capability of wheat germplasm with different alien chromosomes was investigated and compared with bread wheat cultivars (BC) in this study, including wheat addition lines (CA), hexaploid triticale (HT), octoploid triticale (OT), and synthetic hexaploid wheat lines (SHW). Results indicated that HT, OT, and SHW produced significantly higher biomass plant(BMPP), with HT displaying the highest grain yield plant (GYPP).

- * Four critical C-like pathway genes (TaPEPC, TaNADP-ME, TaMDH, TaPPDK) were identified in different chromosomes of bread wheat and showed varied expression patterns among 59 genotypes at different growth stages.
- * Higher expressions of certain C gene enzymes were linked to better photosynthesis rates at specific growth stages, indicating potential avenues for enhancing wheat's photosynthetic abilities in future research.
