The Study of Source-Sink Relations by Comparison of Weight and Grain in the Modern and Old Wheat Cultivars [PDF]
Ikufīziyuluzhī-i Giyāhān-i Zirā̒ī, 2017 Seed filling in wheat is controlled by the availability of substrate (source strength), the capacity of the organs to utilize it for seed growth (sink strength).

International Journal of Agronomy, 2019 The source-sink ratio experimental manipulation has helped to define whether a crop is limited by source or sink or co-limited by both. There is no evidence in triticale of source-sink manipulations effects on yield and yield components.

Corn Grain Weight: Dependence upon Nitrogen Supply and Source-Sink Relations [PDF]
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2021 From a yield component perspective, final grain yield in corn (Zea mays L.) is the result of the number of grains per unit area and their final grain weight. The understanding of grain weight parameters, the rate and duration of grain growth, is critical to improve our rational design of management practices and breeding strategies.

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.

Effects of Population Regulation on the Source–Sink System of Hybrid Wheat Jingmai 6
Agronomy, 2022 Hybrid wheat is considered to be one of the main ways to greatly improve the wheat yield in the future, and population construction is an important factor affecting their yield heterosis formation.

Source/Sink Relations of Abscising and Nonabscising Soybean Flowers [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1984 The partitioning of recently fixed (14)C to setting and abscising flowers within the axillary raceme of ;Clark' isoline E1t soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr) was examined as a function of time after anthesis of individual flowers. In such racemes, the first four flowers showed a 17% abscission while the next four flowers showed 47% abscission.Source/sink ...

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
