• Future progress in drought tolerance in maize needs new secondary traits and cross combinations (2008, background): “Recombination of the best 40 families from C4 was by grain colour to form DTP2-Y C5 and DTP2-W C5, where Y denotes yellow germplasm and W white.”
• Plant drought stress: effects, mechanisms and management (2011, unknown): “Maize Grain filling 79–81% Monneveux et al. (2005)”
• Response to Direct Selection for Grain Yield under Drought Stress in Rice (2007, background): “Selection indices that give substantial weight to grain yield under drought stress have proven highly effective in improving drought tolerance in maize (Edmeades et al., 1999; Monneveux et al., 2006).”
• Survey of Plant Density Tolerance in U.S. Maize Germplasm (2014, background): “A longer ASI reduces the chance that all female spikelets will be pollinated and thus increases the potential for yield reduction (Carcova et al., 2000; Monneveux et al., 2006; Sangoi, 2000).”
• Coupling time to silking with plant growth rate in maize (2007, background): “Although maize breeding has increased biomass partitioning to the ear around flowering (Tollenaar et al., 1992; Edmeades et al., 1993; Echarte et al., 2004; Monneveux et al., 2005; Luque et al., 2006), this shift in partitioning has not been directly coupled to an earlier initiation of rapid ear gro”

• Quantitative trait loci for yield and correlated traits under high and low soil nitrogen conditions in tropical maize (2007, methodology): “N deficiency increases the anthesis-silking interval (Jacobs and Pearson 1991), enhances kernel abortion (Pearson and Jacob 1987), accelerates senescence (Moll et al. 1994), and reduces final ear and grain number (Lemcoff and Loomis 1986; Uhart and Andrade 1995b; Monneveux et al. 2005a).”
• Efficiency of Managed‐Stress Screening of Elite Maize Hybrids under Drought and Low Nitrogen for Yield under Rainfed Conditions in Southern Africa (2012, background): “Selection indices that give substantial weight to grain yield under managed stress have proven highly eff ective in improving drought tolerance in maize (Edmeades et al., 1999; Monneveux et al., 2006).”
