Agronomic performance of late-season rice in South China
Improving rice yields is critical for global food security. China is a major rice-producing country having two rice cropping systems, i.e. single-season rice cropping system and a double-season system with both early- and late-season rice.

Integrated Land Use Change Related Carbon Source/Sink Examination in Jiangsu Province [PDF]
Carbon emission (CE) threatens global climate change severely, leading to the continuous strengthening of the greenhouse effect. Land use changes can greatly affect the ecosystem carbon budget and anthropogenic CE. Based on the land use grids, net ecosystem productivity (NEP), energy consumption-related CE, this study employed various methods to ...

Sink-source and sink-sink relations during reproductive development in Lolium perenne L. [PDF]
In greenhouse pot trials, L. perenne cv. Barlet plants were labelled with 13C at regular intervals from main spike emergence onwards in order to identify and measure the activity of source and sink organs during seed formation. The source activity of the

Specific features of source-sink relations in alloplasmic hybrid of winter wheat with alien cytoplasm of goatgrass with emphasis on resistance to low temperature stress [PDF]
We studied the influence of alien cytoplasm of spring goatgrass Aegilops ovata L. on some physiological parameters in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), Mironovskaya 808, under normal conditions and in the case of modified source-sink relations ...

Alteration of Wheat Source-Sink Relation by Nitrogen and Spikelet Removal
The source and sink relationships determine the amount and distribution of biomass in plants. Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to study the effect of nitrogen rate and spikelet removal on seed yield and germination traits of wheat. The field experiment was conducted employing sink manipulation (no spikelet removal and ½ spikelet removal)

The effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide on shoot-root nitrogen and water signaling
Terrestrial higher plants are composed of roots and shoots, distinct organs that conduct complementary functions in dissimilar environments. For example, roots are responsible for acquiring water and nutrients such as inorganic nitrogen from the soil ...

Review on the impact of elevated CO2concentrations on fruit species in the face of climate change
Since the industrial revolution, anthropogenic activities have increased atmospheric CO2concentration—one of the major causes of global warming—with a 600 to 700 ppm prediction by the end of this century.
