Inspired by Kleiber's law, we show how growth rate scales with biomass in wheat, and how this scaling connects resource use to reproduction and grain yield in diverse environments.

Growth rate, a key trait influencing plant resource use, scales predictably with plant mass, following remarkably consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selecti...
