Diverse concepts of breeding for nitrogen use efficiency. A review (2017, background): “…high storage capacity of NO3 − in the leaves, leaf longevity (stay-green) during remobilization for good grain filling, and maintenance of individual-plant N uptake with extended reproductive-stage accumulation (Hirel et al. 2001; Tollenaar and Lee 2011; Ciampitti and Vyn 2011; Chen et al. 2016).”
Genetic improvement in density and nitrogen stress tolerance traits over 38 years of commercial maize hybrid release. (2016, background): “One trait that is of consistent focus is the enhancement in source and sink strength, as well as improving the efficiency of nutrient partitioning from source to sink (Tollenaar and Lee, 2011).”
Plant biomass and nitrogen partitioning changes between silking and maturity in newer versus older maize hybrids (2015, background): “Newer maize hybrids normally accumulate more dry matter (DM) at maturity and achieve higher GrainN because of higher PostN (Tollenaar and Lee, 2011; Ciampitti and Vyn, 2012; Ning et al., 2013).”
