Efficiency of Managed‐Stress Screening of Elite Maize Hybrids under Drought and Low Nitrogen for Yield under Rainfed Conditions in Southern Africa (2012, result): “A positive and signifi cant although weak Pearson correlation between w2 and the trial means of grain yield indicated decreased w2 under stress, as also reported by other authors (Blum, 1988; Bolaños and Edmeades, 1996; Monneveux et al., 2008).”
Global Synthesis of Drought Effects on Maize and Wheat Production (2016, unknown): “Small tassel size is positively correlated with yield, which could be due to the suppression of shading and better interception of light by the upper leaves or reduced transpiration [40].”
Prediction of grain yield using reflectance spectra of canopy and leaves in maize plants grown under different water regimes (2012, background): “In practice, this ombination is rarely obtained (Monneveux et al., 2008).”
Global synthesis of drought effects on cereal, legume, tuber and root crops production: A review (2017, background): “…15 for the above-mentioned secondary traits (including anthesis-silking interval) rather than the yield itself per se due to the low heritability and possible interactions with other agronomic factors (e.g., nutrient stress, pathogen) of the latter (Fussell et al., 1991; Monneveux et al., 2008).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “To be most effective in maize, NSC reserves must be balanced with remobilization to ensure the highest obtainable yields, without yield penalties caused by excessive sucrose storage in the stem (Monneveux et al., 2008).”
