Advantageous spike-to-stem competition for assimilates contributes to the reduction in grain number loss in wheat spikes under water deficit stress

This study was conducted to investigate the mechanisms of assimilate distribution and sugar metabolism in spike-stem that inhibit the formation of fertile florets and grains per spike in winter wheat under pre-reproductive drought stress. Two winter wheat cultivars, CH58 (relatively strongly drought...
