Source–Sink Capacity Responsible for Higher Maize Yield with Removal of Plastic Film (2013, methodology): “In both the FM and RM treatments, the entire ears of three randomly selected plants were harvested at 5- to 6-d intervals, starting 10 d after silking and continuing until physiological maturity (Sala et al., 2007).”
Heat stress in temperate and tropical maize hybrids: Kernel growth, water relations and assimilate availability for grain filling (2014, background): “Nevertheless, source reductions during effective grain filling cause the arrest of biomass allocation to kernels and a premature decline in their water status, a condition that uncouples water from dry matter dynamics in kernels (Sala et al., 2007b).”
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 ).”
