Heat stress in temperate and tropical maize hybrids: Kernel growth, water relations and assimilate availability for grain filling (2014, background): “By contrast, kernel growth is highly susceptible to source limitations during this phase (Borrás et al., 2004), which reduce kernel weight by shortening of grain filling (Badu-Apraku et al., 1983; Echarte et al., 2006; NeSmith and Ritchie, 1992; Ouattar et al., 1987a; Westgate, 1994).”
A comprehensive study of plant density consequences on nitrogen uptake dynamics of maize plants from vegetative to reproductive stages (2011, background): “…that this component of kernel development is linked ore to the duration of the effective grain-filling period than o the grain-filling rate when maize encounters water (NeSmith nd Ritchie, 1992), defoliation (Echarte et al., 2006; Sala et al., 007), and shading stresses (Tanaka and Maddoni, 2009).”
Ecophysiological Yield Components of Maize Hybrids with Contrasting Maturity (2007, background): “In maize, grain growth rate is little affected by source capacity ( Echarte et al., 2006 ) and is closely associated with maximal grain water content, which is a good indicator of potential individual grain weight (Borra´s and Westgate, 2006; Sala et al., 2007).”
Genetic improvement in density and nitrogen stress tolerance traits over 38 years of commercial maize hybrid release. (2016, background): “grain filling period) when ear demand increased due to higher yield potential, especially in newer hybrids compared to older hybrids (Echarte et al., 2006).”
