Extended grain filling has potential to improve yield in grain sorghum.

Abstract excerpt

Yield increase in sorghum has been achieved primarily by increasing grain number. Scope exists to increase yield by increasing grain size; however, this has been limited by the negative correlation between grain size and grain number. Extending the duration of the grain-filling period has potential to enable increased grain size without the trade-off with grain number. This study explored grain-filling duration...
