Indeed biology is wondeful. It can still manage to produce surprises by
increases in yield of 30% but yet still manage to be ignored by the
mainstream press and provide so few hits on google.

much of the gain seemed to come from the short-
stalk breeding efforts (reduce stem length allows
the head/seeds to increase and the plant doesn't
fall over).

Do you have a cite about stem length? I haven't seen any reference to stem
length for the superwheat trial.
