Some modern varieties of cereals such as wheat and rice achieve high yield potential through genetic factors for plant dwarfness that improve harvest index. A popular notion among plant breeders is that high-yielding... 

Despite vast efforts over 20 years, rice remains one of the most salt-sensitive of crops. Efforts have centred on screening the existing germplasm, and the more resistant varieties have proved to be older, traditional (and therefore non-dwarfed) land races. Although some of their resistance has been incorporated into modern varieties, these have not increased in resistance beyond that of their parents, and do not achieve the resistance of barley or wheat (Ponnamperuma, 1984). 

Uses as fungicide for seed treatment to control common bunt and dwarf bunt of wheat. 

An epimeric mixture of sclareol (29) and n-epi-sclareol (33) has been shown to inhibit germination of spores of several rust diseases on tobacco, broad bean, dwarf bean, and wheat plants at 100 ppm (Wain, 1977).

The harvest index of wheat has been substantially increased by the breeding of semi-dwarf varieties, and a closely related trait, improved resistance to lodging, has resulted in improvements both to yield and crop quality. Improved yields have been an important trait in all of the other major crops. In some cases improvements have been obtained by plant breeders selecting for winter hardy types which can be autumn sown. Oilseed rape is an important example, others, less successful, have included linseed, peas and lupins. 

CEREAL GRAINS. Much of the world is dependent upon calories supplied by a single cereal staple which supplies carbohydrate in the form of starch. For example, in Afghanistan and Pakistan the staple is wheat, and in Mexico and Central America it is corn (maize). In China and southeastern Asia, regions of the world with the largest population, the staple is rice. Annually, world production of these three cereals dwarfs the production of all other plant foods. American diets derive carbohydrates from wheat, corn, and rice because they appear in so many forms. Other cereal...
