Control of kernel weight and kernel water relations by post-flowering source-sink ratio in maize.

Annals of botany - 1 Jun 2003

Borrás L, Westgate M E, Otegui M E

Abstract excerpt

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. This study was conducted to determine whether variation in kernel weight (KW) in...
