Mechanisms of Nitrogen Use in Maize (2019, background): “Harvest index of maize produced in favorable growing environments is about 50% [46].”
Changes in Nitrogen Use Traits Associated with Genetic Improvement for Grain Yield of Maize Hybrids Released in Different Decades (2013, background): “Genetic improvements in maize yield have generally been attributed to increased resource acquisition and greater stress tolerance including the ability to maintain harvest index at increased plant density (Tollenaar and Wu, 1999; Duvick, 2005; Campos et al., 2006; Tollenaar and Lee, 2006; Hammer et ”
Assessment of maize yield and phenology by drone-mounted superspectral camera (2019, background): “Maize grain yield has risen approximately 2% per year from the late 1930s into the twenty-first century, with this growth attributed to increased biotic and abiotic stress tolerance through improvements primarily in genetics ranging from 50 to 60% (Duvick 2005) to 75% (Tollenaar and Lee 2006; Araus ”
Growth and yield stimulation under elevated CO2 and drought : A meta-analysis on crops (2016, background): “An extended period of grain filling under eCO2 might subsequently increase crop yield, because the efficiency of carbonallocation to grains and the filling period duration affect yield quantity (Daynard et al., 1971; Nass and Reiser, 1975; Tollenaar and Lee, 2006; Kirkham, 2011).”
Why Early Season Weed Control Is Important in Maize (2012, background): “Several authors have suggested that the sink capacity (i.e., potential KNP and KW) is set in response to source strength during the critical period bracketing silking (i.e., PGRS; Borrás and Gambı́n 2010; Lee and Tollenaar 2007; Tollenaar and Lee 2006).”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “The GE interaction could be a result of (i) enhanced genetic yield potential of newer hybrids; (ii) increased capacity of newer hybrids to tolerate low resource availability; or (iii) greater general stress tolerance of newer hybrids (Tollenaar and Lee, 2006).”
Maize and soybean root front velocity and maximum depth in Iowa, USA (2018, background): “For example, plant breeding programs have focused on the selection of above ground plant traits for yield improvement (Tollenaar et al., 2004; Tollenaar and Lee, 2006) while giving little attention to the below-ground root morphology (Lynch, 2007).”
