Field experiments were conducted during two rainy seasons to study the effect of soil
moisture deficit on total biomass, pod yield, harvest index (HI) and drought tolerance index …

Perturbations of the source–sink balances were performed in field‐grown coffee (Coffea
arabica) trees to investigate the possible role of carbohydrates in feedback regulation of …

Fruits were removed (–fruit) or retained (+ fruit) on limbs of 'Yanfengyihao'peach (Prunus
persica (L.) Batch) trees. In addition to the–fruit and+ fruit treatments, leaves on 1-year-old …

Key message Defoliation modality significantly affected leaf traits and carbon allocation
especially in the early recovery period of two Leguminosae woody species. Robinia …

Diurnal variations in photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, xanthophyll cycle, antioxidant
enzymes and antioxidant metabolism in leaves in response to low sink demand caused by …

Canopy conductance, one of the key variables in simulating evapotranspiration, is strongly
influenced by the physiological status of a plant and environmental factors, including …

Thirty Spanish groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars were grown for three cropping
seasons, ie, for two consecutive rainy and summer, and one post-rainy, and evaluated for …

In 'Beijing 24'peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batch] trees, a series of source leaves with differing
levels of end products were created by retaining fruit (“+ fruit”), removing fruit (“− fruit”), or …

To examine the role of sink size on photosynthetic acclimation under elevated atmospheric
CO 2 concentrations ([CO 2]), we tested the effects of panicle-removal (PR) treatment on …

Many studies have been performed to evaluate the effects of sink demand on
photosynthesis using artificial defruiting experiments. However, information is scarce …
