Alterations in Source-Sink Relations Affect Rice Yield Response to Elevated CO2: A Free-Air CO2 Enrichment Study [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
To understand the effects of source-sink relationships on rice yield response to elevated CO2 levels (eCO2), we conducted a field study using a popular japonica cultivar grown in a free-air CO2 enrichment environment in 2017–2018.

Late Split-Application with Reduced Nitrogen Fertilizer Increases Yield by Mediating Source–Sink Relations during the Grain Filling Stage in Summer Maize [PDF]

Plants, 2023
In the North China Plain, the excessive application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer for ensuring high yield and a single application at sowing for simplifying management in farmer practice lead to low N use efficiency and environmental risk in maize (Zea mays

A whole canopy gas exchange system for the targeted manipulation of grapevine source-sink relations using sub-ambient CO2 [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Elucidating the effect of source-sink relations on berry composition is of interest for wine grape production as it represents a mechanistic link between yield, photosynthetic capacity and wine quality.

Optimized planting density and nitrogen improve grain yield and water productivity in drip-fertigated maize through improved canopy function and source–sink balance [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionBalanced source–sink relations are essential for achieving high maize yield and water productivity, and maintaining post-silking green leaf area is critical for dry matter accumulation and yield formation in maize (Zea mays L.).

Reconciling canopy light interception and photosynthetic efficiency to optimize source-sink coordination and yield formation in winter wheat [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Optimizing the seeding rate is critical for wheat productivity. However, excessive densification often compromises individual photosynthetic efficiency to maximize canopy light interception, creating a trade-off that constrains yield.

Investigating phloem transport dynamics in Arabidopsis through compartmental modelling of positron emission tomography data [PDF]

Plant Methods
Background Phloem is the long-distance transport tissue of vascular plants in which photoassimilates are distributed from sources (e.g., leaves) to sinks (e.g., roots, fruits).

Source–sink relations and responses to sink–source manipulations during grain filling in wheat

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
The source–sink ratio during grain filling is a critical factor that affects crop yield in wheat, and the main objective of this study was to determine the source–sink relations at both the canopy scale and the individual culm level under two nitrogen (N)
