Is the source-sink ratio at anthesis a driver to avoid yield reductions caused by late foliar disease in wheat?
(Elsevier Science, 2019-04-01)
Late foliar diseases that appear during the grain filling period reduce radiation interception/absorption decreasing assimilation supply, inducing reductions in grain weight and yield. We hypothesize that crops with higher ...
Fruit and Tissue Responses of 'Arauco' Olive Fruits to Crop Load in Arid Argentina
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2014-11)
Fruit size at harvest is an important parameter of table olive yield and quality, and is a function of the growth of both major tissues, the fleshy mesocarp (pulp) and the endocarp (pit). High crop loads most often reduce ...
Changes in seed weight in response to different sources: sink ratio in oilseed rape
(IJARIT Research Foundation, 2014-09)
Little knowledge exists about the degree of source, sink and source: sink limitations on mean seed weight in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The objective of this work was to analyze the nature and magnitude on seed ...
Analysis of sink/source relations in bread wheat recombinant inbred lines and commercial cultivars under a high yield potential environment
(Elsevier Science, 2018-02)
Grain yield in wheat is generally considered to be sink-limited during grain filling. But is this limitation inherent to the crop species or a consequence of the breeding process? A way to ascertain this is by using genetic ...
Differential source-sink manipulation affects leaf carbohydrate and photosynthesis of early- and late-harvest nectarine varieties
(BRAZILIAN SOC PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, 2019)
Source-sink balance is a major determinant of carbon partitioning within plants. Thinning is an agronomic practice that consists of changing the ratio between leaves and fruits, the source and sink plant organs, respectively. ...
Source-sink relations and kernel weight in maize inbred lines and hybrids: Responses to contrasting nitrogen supply levels
(Elsevier Science, 2019-01)
Maize (Zea mays, L.) kernel weight (KW) is regulated by the source-sink relationship at the early grain-filling period, when potential kernel size is defined, and at the effective grain-filling period, when final KW is ...
Fruit, mesocarp, and endocarp responses to crop load and to different estimates of source: sink ratio in olive (cv. Arauco) at final harvest
(Elsevier Science, 2018-04)
The annual fluctuations in olive crop load due to alternate bearing and other factors often lead to large differences in fruit size and oil content between years at harvest. A better understanding of how fruit parameters ...
Source-sink relations and kernel weight in maize inbred lines and hybrids : responses to contrasting nitrogen supply levels
(Elsevier, 2019-01)
Maize (Zea mays, L.) kernel weight (KW) is regulated by the source-sink relationship at the early grain-filling period, when potential kernel size is defined, and at the effective grain-filling period, when final KW is ...
Understanding grain yield responses to source-sink ratios during grain filling in wheat and barley under contrasting environments
(Elsevier, 2013-08-20)
A better understanding of the effects of different source?sink ratio during the grain filling period on grain growth may be relevant in order to further increase cereal grain yield. The main objective of the present work ...
