Molecular and physiological approaches to maize improvement for drought tolerance. (2002, background): “One universal phenomenon observed when maize flowers are under drought is the delay of silking in relation to pollen shed, giving rise to the anthesis-silking interval (ASI) whose duration is highly correlated with kernel set (DuPlessis and Dijkhuis, 1967; Edmeades et al., 2000a).”
Global status of commercialized biotech/GM crops: 2006. (2006, methodology): “Drought-affected ears typically have fewer kernels that will be poorly filled if drought extends throughout grain filling (Edmeades et al. 2000).”
Global Synthesis of Drought Effects on Maize and Wheat Production (2016, unknown): “Drought causes significant delay in silking [41], preventing the critical synchrony between silking and anthesis and resulting in maize yield reduction [30, 43].”
Improving drought tolerance in maize: a view from industry (2004, background): “, 2002), suggesting that a short ASI is indicative of general tolerance to reduced photosynthesis per plant at flowering from many causes (Edmeades et al., 2000).”
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).”
Planting Date, Hybrid Maturity, and Weather Effects on Maize Yield and Crop Stage (2019, background): “…to growth and partitioning during critical periods (Andrade et al., 2000; Vega et al., 2001), an early PD and full-season hybrid does not guarantee a high grain yield because other factors such as drought, heat, and nutrient stresses can reduce grain yield during the season (Edmeades et al., 2000).”
Predicting maize phenology: intercomparison of functions for developmental response to temperature (2014, background): “Whenever possible, the planting to anthesis interval rather than the planting to silking interval was analyzed because the anthesis to silking interval is highly affected by abiotic stresses (Edmeades et al., 2000) and, consequently, the use of the silking date will introduce another potential unacc”
