Predictability of wheat growth and yield in light-limited conditions (2007, methodology): “Data plotted on similar axes have been used previously (Slafer & Savin 1994; Borras et al. 2004) as evidence of sink limitation in wheat.”
Analyzing the significance of defoliation in growth, photosynthetic compensation and source-sink relations (2012, background): “An increase in stomatal conductance (g s ) (Belesky and Hill 1997) and activity of Rubisco (Wareing et al. 1968) are other reasons for the increase in leaves photosynthetic rate following partial defoliation.”
Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “Although under optimal conditions wheat crops are in general little limited by the assimilate supply during grain filling (Dreccer et al., 1997; Borrás et al., 2004; Calderini et al., 2006), under low to moderate N fertilizer levels yields may be more limited by postanthesis assimilate supply.”
Heat stress in temperate and tropical maize hybrids: Kernel growth, water relations and assimilate availability for grain filling (2014, background): “By contrast, kernel growth is highly susceptible to source limitations during this phase (Borrás et al., 2004), which reduce kernel weight by shortening of grain filling (Badu-Apraku et al., 1983; Echarte et al., 2006; NeSmith and Ritchie, 1992; Ouattar et al., 1987a; Westgate, 1994).”
PAPER PRESENTED AT INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INCREASING WHEAT YIELD POTENTIAL, CIMMYT, OBREGON, MEXICO, 20–24 MARCH 2006 Understanding the physiological basis of yield potential in wheat (2007, background): “This general situation of sink limitation in wheat was usefully summarized and contrasted with maize (and soybeans) in a recent comprehensive review by Borras et al. (2004).”
