• Heat stress in temperate and tropical maize hybrids: Kernel growth, water relations and assimilate availability for grain filling (2014, background): “Heat stress during the first half of effective grain filling (GS3) reduced SSREGF and caused the expected decrease in kernel weight (Borrás and Otegui, 2001; Cirilo and Andrade, 1996; Maddonni et al., 1998).”
• Row Width and Maize Grain Yield (2006, background): “…large kernel size, kernel weight may contribute to grain yield variations Published online October 3, 2006 (Echarte et al., 2000; Otegui, 1995) and is related to plant weight gain per kernel during the grain-filling period (Borrá s and Otegui, 2001; Cirilo and Andrade, 1996; Maddonni et al., 1998).”
• Genetic improvement in density and nitrogen stress tolerance traits over 38 years of commercial maize hybrid release. (2016, background): “The comparison between source strength and sink strength durng grain filling period can be quantified using the source-sink atio (SSR), which is often known as the ratio of post-silking dry atter accumulation divided by kernel number per plant (Rajcan nd Tollenaar, 1999b; Borrás et al., 2003; Borrás”
• Physiological N response of field-grown maize hybrids (Zea mays L.) with divergent yield potential and grain protein concentration (2009, background): “Considering these factors, and the observation that hybrid variation in kernel growth can be independent of assimilate supply (Jones and Simmons 1983; Borrás and Otegui 2001), it is not surprising that single leaf CER was not indicative of hybrid yield variation.”
• Intra-specific competition in maize: early establishment of hierarchies among plants affects final kernel set (2004, methodology): “Allometric models (Andrade et al., 1999; Vega et al., 2001b; Borrás and Otegui, 2001) were used for a nondestructive estimation of: (i) shoot biomass evolution of individual plants along the pre-silking period (from V3 to R1) and at the beginning of the effective grain-filling period (R3), and (ii) ”
• Source–Sink Capacity Responsible for Higher Maize Yield with Removal of Plastic Film (2013, background): “Maize grain yields appear to be most strongly dependent on source capacity and sink strength during the RS (Borrás and Otegui, 2001) because grain growth is directly associated with the rates of assimilation and translocation (Chen et al.”
• Kernel number determination differs among maize hybrids in response to nitrogen (2008, methodology): “This approach has been widely tested and documented elsewhere (Vega et al., 2000, 2001b; Borrás and Otegui, 2001; Maddonni and Otegui, 2004; Pagano and Maddonni, 2007), including water stress conditions (Echarte and Tollenaar, 2006).”
