Agronomic Responses of Corn Hybrids from Different Eras to Deficit and Adequate Levels of Water and Nitrogen (2004, background): “For example, Studies comparing the response of stress-tolerant hybrids Bänziger et al. (2002) found that genotypes selected for with sensitive hybrids have found different relationshipsdrought tolerance also possessed physiological mecha- between kernel number and crop physiological statusnisms…”
Drought and salinity: A comparison of their effects on mineral nutrition of plants (2005, background): “Because the absorption of N shows genetic variation, selection, and breeding of lineages that are more effective in their N uptake may be a more efficient strategy in arid land than in temperate zone (Sattelmacher et al., 1994; Bänziger et al., 2002).”
Yield and its stability, crop diversity, adaptability and response to climate change, weather and fertilisation over 75 years in the Czech Republic in comparison to some European countries (2004, background): “Maize selected for drought tolerance also provided tolerance to nitrogen stress (Banzinger et al., 2002).”
Quantitative trait loci for yield and correlated traits under high and low soil nitrogen conditions in tropical maize (2007, methodology): “Based on phenotypic data, Bänziger et al. (2002) and Monneveux et al. (2005b) suggested that selection for tolerance to mid-season drought stress lead to morphological and physiological changes that increase yield under N deficiency.”
Gains in Maize Genetic Improvement in Eastern and Southern Africa: I. CIMMYT Hybrid Breeding Pipeline (2017, background): “Increased flowering synchrony has previously been associated with increased grain yield under optimal, drought, and low-N stress (Bolaños and Edmeades, 1993a; Bänziger et al., 2002; Cairns et al., 2012b).”
Combining ability, heterosis and genetic diversity in tropical maize (Zea mays L.) under stress and non-stress conditions (2011, background): “Decreased ear abortion and increased assimilate supply during grain filling of maize selected for tolerance to mid-season drought also provide tolerance to N stress and therefore may contribute to increased yield (Edmeades et al. 1997; Bänziger et al. 2002).”
Use of Chlorophyll Fluorescence Assessments to Differentiate Corn Hybrid Response To Variable Water Conditions (2006, background): “Schussler and Westgate (1995), Andrade et al. (2002), and Bänziger et al. (2002) have in turn shown that kernel number and grain yield are extremely sensitive to reductions in photosynthesis and assimilate levels during this time.”
Kernel number determination differs among maize hybrids in response to nitrogen (2008, background): “CIMMYT breeding programs for N-limited environments delivered genotypes with reduced anthesis-silking interval, a trait associated with increased kernel number and grain yield (Bänziger et al., 2002).”
