Corn Grain Weight: Dependence upon Nitrogen Supply and Source-Sink Relations
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2021 From a yield component perspective, final grain yield in corn (Zea maysL.) is the result of the number of grains per unit area and their final grain weight.

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 ...

Sink-source and sink-sink relations during reproductive development in Lolium perenne L.
Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1997 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

Next-generation strategies for understanding and influencing source–sink relations in crop plants
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2018 Whether plants are source or sink limited, that is, whether carbon assimilation or rather assimilate usage is ultimately responsible for crop yield, has been the subject of intense debate over several decades. Here we provide a short review of this debate before focusing on the use of transgenic intervention as a means to influence yield by modifying ...

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

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
