Abstract
Ear number is an important determinant of yield in winter wheat and it may be greatly affected by the proportion of tillers surviving to form ears. The causes of variation in tiller survival in crops where survival is not limited by nitrogen are not fully understood and were investigated in this experiment. The relation between tiller survival and development was studied in plants whose rate of development was changed by altering temperature. The relation between survival and growth was studied in plants whose growth rate was changed by altering radiation.
