Spring wheat response to timing of water deficit through sink and grain filling capacity (2009, result): “This is in accordance with the literature as nitrogen has been shown to increase number of distal grains in spikelets (Whingwiri and Stern, 1982; Acreche and Slafer, 2006).”
Fruiting efficiency: an alternative trait to further rise wheat yield (2015, background): “…fl orets and these fl orets have lower size potential than the proximal ones, it would increase the proportion of fl orets of smaller size potential (Miralles and Slafer 1995b ; Acreche and Slafer 2006 ) and consequently the average size would be reduced but yield gains would be certain (Fig.”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “…slight losses in the average weight of the grains, probably as a consequence of the smaller cells in the pericarp induced by insensitivity to GA (Miralles and Slafer, 1995b) and the increased number of grains of small potential size when grain number is improved (e.g., Acreche and Slafer, 2006).”
