Hail influence on corn (Zea mays L.) yield depends on defoliation timing and severity.
Complete defoliation during early vegetative stages can have minimum yield effects if plants' …

Maize (Z ea mays ssp. mays L.) is highly susceptible to drought stress. This work focused on
whole‐plant physiological mechanisms by which a biotechnology‐derived maize event …

Intercropping increases resource capture due to species complementarities, but it is not
clear to which extent intercropping also affects the redistribution of carbohydrates and …

Grain yield and its primary determinants, grain number and weight, are important traits in
cereal crops that have been well studied; however, the genetic basis of and interactions …

• Premise of the study: Given the worldwide economic importance of maize endosperm, it is
surprising that its development is not the most comprehensively studied of the cereals. We …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the important cereal crops along with wheat and rice
worldwide. The purpose of this study was to use classical genetic approaches to assess the …

Abstract Maize (Zea mays, L.) kernel weight (KW) is regulated by the source-sink
relationship at the early grain-filling period, when potential kernel size is defined, and at the …

Core Ideas Limited data on the effect of row width on defoliation in modern hybrids. Yield
loss in 38 cm was less for all defoliation treatments vs. 76‐cm rows. Different hybrids …

Extreme high temperatures detrimental to maize production are projected to occur more
frequently with future climate change. Phenology and yield-related traits were investigated …

Maize (Zea mays L.) stand density selection is an important management practice because
yield is maximized at a particular optimum value. Optimum stand density (OSD) varies …
