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 ScienceIntroductionBalanced 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 BiologyBackground 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.

Effect of changed source/sink relations on proteolytic activities and on nitrogen mobilization in field-grown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]
, 1979 Nitrogen mobilization and the pattern of proteolytic enzymes were investigated in leaves and glumes of field-grown winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during maturation. Source/sink relations were changed by removal of the ear, the flag leaf or the lower
