• Breeding for increased nitrogen‐use efficiency: a review for wheat (T. aestivum L.) (2016, background): “Thus, responses in N-limited crops often include reductions in total leaf area, leaf expansion and duration, leaf N and chlorophyll content, leaf stomatal conductance and photosynthesis per unit of leaf area (Sylvester-Bradley et al. 1990, Monneveux et al. 2005).”
• Synergistic effect of inorganic N and P fertilizers and organic inputs from Gliricidia sepium on productivity of intercropped maize in Southern Malawi (2007, background): “In comparison with optimal conditions, there was an average reduction of 17% in TKW under low N conditions, which was close to the 23% reduction reported by Monneveux et al. (2005).”
• Future progress in drought tolerance in maize needs new secondary traits and cross combinations (2008, background): “Under high plant population density, competition for assimilates occurs mainly during the last stages of grain filling (Poneleit & Egli 1979), which leads to an association between final grain weight and yield (Monneveux et al. 2005).”
• 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).”
• Maize response to elevated plant density combined with lowered N-fertilizer rate is genotype-dependent (2015, unknown): “[35].”
• Survey of Plant Density Tolerance in U.S. Maize Germplasm (2014, background): “And smaller tassels require less photoassimilates from the plant to support their development (Monneveux et al., 2005).”
