This study aims to understand the influence of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters on the yield of winter wheat in some areas of China. Nitrogen (N) application is believed to improve photosynthesis in flag leaves, ultimately increasing the final yield. The results from different parameters of research showed that the grain number per spike improved by 12.2% and the 1000-grain weight by 7.3%, respectively. At 20–30 days after anthesis, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and soluble protein in flag leaves of N150 were found to be the most effective. The grain yield under N manure partial substitution for N fertilizer treatment increased by 23 and 15%, respectively. The important implications of photosynthetic characteristics of variable fluorescence yield of the light-adapted state are that the contents of clear, ball, alcohol soluble, gluten, protein, and flour quality showed an increasing trend, while the contents of amylose, amylopectin, total starch, and direct/branch ratio were decreased of wheat. The net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and relative chlorophyll content of wheat. The outcome of the present investigation suggests that chlorophyll fluorescence parameters could be a valuable insight into understanding yield stability under stress conditions. Moreover, the investigated parameters could be useful criteria for the selection of photosynthetic energy under varying nitrogen application levels.
