Why modern wheat plants with short stalks can store more starch in the grain?

basicly yeah it produces the same amount of glucose as the longer one and because the stalk is shorter there is more room in the grain to store the glucose.
Edited answer:
The plant ideotype of modern wheat plant provides better source and sink ratio (harvest index). Hence more starch is available to store in the grains.

∙ 14y agoThe starch in the plants you named is produced in their green leafy parts, through photosynthesis. In cabbage, that is pretty much where most of it remains, though some is stored in the seed of the plant, so that it can allow the next generation of cabbage to have a food source while it is sprouting and beginning to grow.
