Novel wheat varieties facilitate deep sowing to beat the heat of changing climates

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 07 March 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01305-9

Wheat genotypes with improved seedling emergence can be sown deeper, facilitating seedling survival under climate change. Crop modelling of these novel genotypes predicts yield increases of up to 20% relative to current genotypes in Australia, with potential for substantial gains in other regions globally.
