Based on the observation data of the air temperature at Tianshui and Xifeng in 1951-2005 and of the phenology of winter wheat at Tianshui and Xifeng in 1981-2003, the tendency of winter warming in past 50 years and the responses of winter wheat growth to climate warming in Gansu Province were analyzed. The results showed that the growth and development of winter wheat were seriously influenced by winter warming. In recent 20 years or more, the overwintering mortality of winter wheat dropped to <2% , overwintering days reduced by 7-8 days, whole growth period shorted by 8-10 days, and jointing-flowering period extended by 7 days, which would benefit the production of winter wheat and the utilization of climatic resource. However, the higher winter temperature and lesser precipitation also made the grain yield instable and the plant diseases and insect pests more frequent, resulting in more uncertain factors in winter wheat safe production.

Irrigation practice, tillage method, and nitrogen (N) management are the three most important agronomic measures for wheat ( L.) production, but the combined effects on grain yield and wheat physiological characteristics are still poorly understood. We conducted a three-year split-split field experiment at the junction of the Loess Plateau and Huang-Huai-Hai Plain in China.

Conservation tillage and fertilization are widely adopted in agricultural systems to enhance soil fertility and influence fungal communities, thereby improving agroecosystems. However, the effects of no-tillage combined with manure on grain yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), soil fertility, and rhizosphere fungal communities remain poorly understood, particularly in rainfed wheat fields on the Loess Plateau. A 15-year field experiment was conducted at the Niujiawa Experimental Farm of the Cotton Research Institute, Shanxi Agricultural University.

The increasing frequency of low-temperature events in spring, driven by climate change, poses a serious threat to wheat production in Northern China. Understanding how low-temperature stress affects wheat yield and its components under varying moisture conditions, and exploring the role of irrigation before exposure to low temperatures, is crucial for food security and mitigating agricultural losses. In this study, four wheat cultivars-semi-spring (YZ4110, LK198) and semi-winter (ZM366, FDC21)-were tested across two years under different conditions of soil moisture (irrigation before low-temperature exposure (IBLT) and non-irrigation (NI)) and low temperatures (-2 °C, -4 °C, -6 °C, -8 °C, and -10 °C).

Wheat end-use quality is an important component of a wheat breeding program. Heat stress during grain filling impacts wheat quality traits, making it crucial to understand the genetic basis of wheat quality traits under post-anthesis heat stress. This study aimed to identify the genomic regions associated with wheat quality traits using genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and evaluate the prediction accuracy of different genomic selection (GS) models.

This article presents data measured in 44 farms covering a range of cropping practices, soil, and production parameters under contrasted types of crop management: conventional and conservation agriculture. Eighty-six winter wheat fields in Northwestern France were monitored for two growing seasons (2021-2023). The dataset encompasses data about cropping practices (tillage, soil cover, rotation, pesticide use, nutrition), soils (chemical, biological, and physical parameters, including texture), and grain production (nutritional, technological, and sanitary indicators).
