Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Nitrogen (N) remobilization is the major source of N for grain filling in wheat, the other being N uptake after anthesis (N(up)); however, variations in remobilization efficiency are not fully understood. It is hard to tell whether the source or the sink effects predominate, because N in the culm at anthesis (N(ant)) correlates strongly with both N remobilization (N(rem)) and grain number...
