Disentangling the Heterosis in Biomass Production and Radiation Use Efficiency in Maize: A Phytomer-Based 3D Modelling Approach [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Maize (Zea mays L.) benefits from heterosis in-yield formation and photosynthetic efficiency through optimizing canopy structure and improving leaf photosynthesis. However, the role of canopy structure and photosynthetic capacity in determining heterosis

A Review of Modeled Water Use Efficiency of Highly Productive Perennial Grasses Useful for Bioenergy

Agronomy, 2020
Whole plant productivity is obviously the ultimate product of leaf photosynthesis and this has led to numerous efforts to relate the two. However, often with perennial grasses, plant productivity is more sink-limited than source-limited, causing the ...

The Fraction of Intercepted Radiation to Nitrogen Absorption as an Indicator for Assessing Physiological Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Rice

Agronomy, 2022
Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency is important for achieving sustainable rice production in China. Physiological N use efficiency (PNUE) is a measure of a plant’s ability to convert absorbed N into biomass, and can be calculated as the product of the

Yield and Resource Utilization Efficiency Gap in Early Maturing Japonica Rice Cultivars under Different Management Strategies—A Different Location Investigation

Agriculture, 2022
High input costs and poor management options have resulted in a large rice yield gap. Thus, there is a need to reduce production costs and improve resource-use efficiency by using new cultivation techniques at different locations.

Radiation dimming induced modifications in radiation utilization of wheat (Triticumaestivum) crop

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2020
Global dimming has many environmental and climatic implications. India has also experienced a steady and continuous radiation dimming since 1960s due to increasing load of dust and aerosol in the atmosphere.
