Nitrogen and potassium interactions optimized asynchronous spikelet filling and increased grain yield of japonica rice [PDF]
Poor grain filling severely reduces rice yield. Fertilizers play a vital role in regulating grain filling, especially nitrogen (N) and potassium (K).

Functional Analysis of OsCIPK17 in Rice Grain Filling [PDF]
We used mutant cipk17 and Nipponbare in field experiments to analyze agronomic traits, photosynthetic parameters, transcriptome, and gene expression. The results demonstrated cytoplasmic localization of OsCIPK17, while GUS allogeneic (A. thaliana) tissue-staining and quantitative analysis showed the gene was expressed in many organs, including flower ...

Effect of plastic film mulching on the grain filling and hormonal changes of maize under different irrigation conditions. [PDF]
Plastic film mulching (PM) is widely utilized for maize production in China. However, the effect of PM on the grain yield of crops has not been established, and the biochemical mechanism underlying the increase or decrease in grain yield under PM is not ...

Grain-filling problem in ‘super’ rice [PDF]
Modern rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, especially the newly bred 'super' rice, have numerous spikelets on a panicle with a large yield capacity. However, these cultivars often fail to achieve their high yield potential due to poor grain-filling of later-flowering inferior spikelets (in contrast to the earlier-flowering superior spikelets ...

Brassinosteroids Regulate Grain Filling in Rice [PDF]
Abstract Genes controlling hormone levels have been used to increase grain yields in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and rice (Oryza sativa). We created transgenic rice plants expressing maize (Zea mays), rice, or Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding sterol C-22 hydroxylases that control brassinosteroid (BR) hormone levels using a promoter ...

Grain filling parameters in high-yielding ns wheat cultivars [PDF]
Grain yield of wheat is dependent on grain weight, which is the result of grain filling duration and rate. The study was undertaken to examine the relation between grain weight and rate and duration of grain filling in five high-yielding NS wheat ...

GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 2 regulates grain filling and starch synthesis during rice caryopsis development [PDF]
AbstractRice grain filling determines grain weight, final yield and grain quality. Here, a rice defective grain filling mutant, gif2, was identified. Grains of gif2 showed a slower filling rate and a significant lower final grain weight and yield compared to wild‐type.

Exploiting Grain‐Filling Rate and Effective Grain‐Filling Duration to Improve Grain Yield of Early‐Maturing Maize [PDF]
ABSTRACTEarly‐maturing maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes yield 15 to 30% less than late‐maturing genotypes. One strategy for improving grain yield in the early‐maturing group involves assessment of grain‐filling traits as secondary traits for selection for high grain yield.
