Effect of Crowding Stress on Dry Matter Accumulation and Harvest Index in Maize (2006, result): “In contrast to our results, it has been reported that leaf area of maize seedling increased when plants were exposed to a low red to far-red ratio of incident radiation due to either increased plant density (Kasperbauer and Karlen, 1994) or by placing a grass sod in the rows between the maize plants”
Shade Avoidance in Soybean Reduces Branching and Increases Plant-to-Plant Variability in Biomass and Yield Per Plant (2011, background): “…resources, it has been suggested that non– resource-limiting effects including hormonal shifts and light signaling, may contribute to the onset and outcome of resource limiting competition (Aphalo et al. 1999; Baldwin et al. 2006; Ballaré et al. 1990; Page et al. 2009; Rajcan et al. 2004).”
