Nitrogen partitioning and remobilization in relation to leaf senescence, grain yield and grain nitrogen concentration in wheat cultivars ☆ (2014, background): “Fischer (2008) concluded that there as no evidence for effects of N on grain number apart from those perating via dry matter accumulation; and Gonzalez et al.”
Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “…number per ear and ear N content in field data sets (Demotes-Mainard et al., 1999; Demotes-Mainard and Jeuffroy, 2004; Sinclair and Jamieson, 2006); and others suggesting there is no evidence for effects of N on grain number apart from those operating via dry matter accumulation (Fischer, 2007).”
Wheat physiology: a review of recent developments (2011, background): “Arguments about the importance of source versus sink during grain filling in wheat are legion (Evans 1993; Sinclair and Jamieson 2006; Fischer 2008) and the outcomewill obviously depend at least to some extent on the weather before relative to that after AN.”
