Abstract:

The ideal plant type of wheat was discussed in order to improve breeding foreseeability and selection efficiency. The ideal plant type of wheat should have good light transmission, light shading, drought-resistant and water retention property, could adapt to each growth stages of wheat. The function leaves of variety could intercept and utilize sunlight sufficiently and the agronomic characters of the variety include compact plant type at early heading stages, incompact plant type at late grain filling stages and the leaf horizontal angle which enlarges gradually along with the grain filling process. These types could contribute to increase the yield of wheat.
