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)

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

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.).

Metabolite Signals Regulate Gene Expression and Source/Sink Relations in Cereal Seedlings [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1994 Our knowledge of the genetic structures and regulatory mechanisms active during cereal seedling development has increased dramatically in recent years. For this reason, a more integrated view of the molecular aspects of seedling development and physiology is needed. This review presents the Carbon Metabolite Signal Hypothesis, which attempts to explain

Photosynthetica, 2012 Leaf canopy plays a determining role influencing source-sink relations as any change in source activity (photosynthesis) affects sink metabolism. Defoliation (removal of leaves) influences growth and photosynthetic capacity of plants, remobilizes carbon and nitrogen reserves and accelerates sink metabolism, leading to improved source-sink relations.

Control of Kernel Weight and Kernel Water Relations by Post-flowering Source-sink Ratio in Maize [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2003 The maize (Zea mays L.) kernel undergoes large changes in water content during its development. Whether such changes regulate the pattern of kernel development or are simply a consequence of it has not yet been established because other factors, such as assimilate supply, can also affect the rate and duration of kernel growth.
