• Heat stress in temperate and tropical maize hybrids: Kernel growth, water relations and assimilate availability for grain filling (2014, background): “However, small reductions in kernel weight due to heating around flowering could not be associated with changes in kernel water content (Borrás and Westgate, 2006) or kernel growth rate (Borrás and Otegui, 2001) because significant differences could not be detected for the dynamics of water and biom”
• Source–Sink Capacity Responsible for Higher Maize Yield with Removal of Plastic Film (2013, background): “Sink capacity is mainly determined by kernel number (Borrás and Westgate, 2006), which is established during the early stages of grain filling (Jones et al.”
• Why Early Season Weed Control Is Important in Maize (2012, background): “In maize, KNP and KW at maturity are influenced strongly by the PGRS (Andrade et al. 1999; Borrás and Westgate 2006; Tollenaar et al. 1992).”
