Abstract excerpt
Variation in grain size, a major determinant of grain yield and quality in cereal crops, is determined by both the plant's genetic potential and the available assimilate to fill the grain in the absence of stress. This study investigated grain size variation in response to variation in assimilate supply in sorghum using a diversity panel (n = 837) and a backcross-nested association mapping population (n = 1421)...
