• Why Do Maize Hybrids Respond Differently to Variations in Plant Density (2007, background): “On the other hand, if plant density is too high, the decrease in the availability of resources per plant in the period surrounding silking generates a marked fall in yield per plant that is not offset by the increase in the number of plants (Andrade et al., 1999; Vega et al., 2001 ).”
• Improving drought tolerance in maize: a view from industry (2004, background): “Silk emergence can serve as a surrogate measure of ear growth rate, and since tassel growth is little affected by drought stress, ASI becomes a reporter trait for ear and plant growth rates during the flowering period (Edmeades et al., 1993, 2000; Vega et al., 2001).”
• Mechanisms of Nitrogen Use in Maize (2019, background): “Kernel number is related to dry matter accumulation [50] and partitioning during the periods of anthesis and kernel establishment [51,52].”
• Improving Maize Grain Yield under Drought Stress and Non-stress Environments in Sub-Saharan Africa using Marker-Assisted Recurrent Selection (2016, background): “The ASI becomes a reporter trait for ear and plant growth rates during the flowering period (Edmeades et al., 1993, 2000; Vega et al., 2001).”
• Growth, Yield, and Yield Component Changes among Old and New Soybean Cultivars (2009, background): “Greater TDM production increased seed number per plant during the seed set period ( Vega et al., 2001 ) and can increase seed mass during the seed-fi lling period (Borras et al., 2004); however, there was no eff ect in the current study on seed mass.”
• Resource distribution and the trade-off between seed number and seed weight: a comparison across crop species (2010, background): “…species, the number of established seeds is highly sensitive to the availability of resources during a particular phase of the crop cycle, with availability frequently estimated as plant or canopy growth rate during the period (Fischer, 1985; Andrade et al., 1999; Vega et al., 2001, Sadras, 2007).”
