Abstract excerpt
Plant productivity and yield are dependent on source-sink relationships, i.e. the capacity of source leaves to fix CO2 and the capacity of developing sink tissues and organs to assimilate and convert this fixed carbon into dry matter. Studies from our laboratories as well as others have demonstrated that rice productivity and yield are mainly sink-limited during its development because of limited capacity to...
