Abstract

This article is mainly addressed to plant physiologists and breeders. Nowadays, the cooperation between these two groups seems to be more important than ever before. Plant physiology offers better understanding of mechanisms and factors responsible for plant yielding. Thus, it might help to find proper traits for plant selection. Plant breeding proposes highly differentiated material for testing.
