Effect of Removing Superior Spikelets on Grain Filling of Inferior Spikelets in Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
: Large-panicle rice cultivars often fail to reach their yield potential due to the poor grain filling of inferior spikelets (IS). Thus, it is important to determine the causes of poor IS grain filling.

Optimized ridge-furrow ratio regulated soil nutrients, promoted grain filling and increased wheat yield [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe ridge-furrow planting system improves wheat grain filling and soil quality; however, the effects of appropriate ridge-furrow ratio on soil nutrient dynamics and nutrient-plant interaction and its potential response mechanism under ridge ...

Grain-filling strategies of wheat of contrasting grain sizes under various planting patterns and irrigation levels

Crop Journal
In a study comparing grain filling and yield in a large- and a small-grain-size wheat cultivar under two planting patterns and two irrigation regimes, plastic-covered ridge and furrow planting with sprinkler irrigation increased grain filling and yield ...

Identification and Characterization of microRNAs during Maize Grain Filling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The grain filling rate is closely associated with final grain yield of maize during the period of maize grain filling. To identify the key microRNAs (miRNAs) and miRNA-dependent gene regulation networks of grain filling in maize, a deep-sequencing ...

The molecular mechanism by which heat stress during the grain filling period inhibits maize grain filling and reduces yield. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
High temperatures significantly impair plant growth and development by restricting maize grain filling; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying heat stress remain poorly understood. In this study, 350 maize inbred lines were evaluated under field conditions, leading to the identification of heat-tolerant Zheng58 and heat-sensitive Qi319.

Assessing effects of temperature driven by sowing dates on the grain filling and kernel weight of corn in the North China Plain [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe grain filling process is strongly influenced by weather during the reproductive growth stage, but grain filling and yield of corn under various weather conditions resulting from different sowing dates remain uncertain.MethodsA two-year ...

Carpel size, grain filling, and morphology determine individual grain weight in wheat [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2015
Individual grain weight is a major yield component in wheat. To provide a comprehensive understanding of grain weight determination, the carpel size at anthesis, grain dry matter accumulation, grain water uptake and loss, grain morphological expansion ...

Description of grain weight distribution leading to genomic selection for grain-filling characteristics in rice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Grain-filling ability is one of the factors that controls grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We developed a method for describing grain weight distribution, which is the probability density function of single grain weight in a panicle, using 128 ...

Combining Controlled-Release and Normal Urea Enhances Rice Grain Quality and Starch Properties by Improving Carbohydrate Supply and Grain Filling [PDF]

Plants
Controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers are gaining popularity in rice (Oryza stavia L.) cultivation for their ability to increase yields while reducing environmental impact. Grain filling is essential for both the yield and quality of rice. However, the

Regulation of Rice Grain Quality by Exogenous Kinetin During Grain-Filling Period. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
Cytokinins (CKs) play important functions in plant growth and development and in response to adversity stress. However, little is known about the role CK plays in rice grain quality. We hypothesized that exogenous cytokinins could improve rice grain quality by regulating physiological traits and genes related to starch synthesis.
