A dramatic change in agricultural crops is needed in order to keep pace with the demands of
an increasing human population, exponential need for renewable fuels, and uncertain …

Maize (Zea mays L.) yield is a function of the number harvested kernels per unit land area
and the individual kernel weight (KW). Kernel weight and its development show a wide …

Drought is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses across the world which is seriously
hampering the productivity of agricultural crops. Maize is among the leading cereal crops in …

Simultaneously growing sinks are thought to compete for plant resources. Negative
correlations, for example between grain number and stem mass in cereals, indeed resemble …

Improved plant N utilization and partitioning is critical for future improvements in maize (Zea
mays L.) grain yield (GY). The overall research objective was to gain understanding of the …

Kernel weight is an important factor determining grain yield and nutritional quality in
sorghum, yet the developmental processes underlying the genotypic differences in potential …

Physiological causes for grain weight determination in maize (Zea mays L.) are not clear.
Source–sink relationships during grain filling modulate grain weight, and there are …

Planting date effect on phenological development, temperature accumulation and grain
yield of maize was evaluated at three locations of Bangladesh differing in environmental …

Grain weight is one of the most important yield components and a developmentally complex
structure comprised of two major compartments (endosperm and pericarp) in maize (Zea …

Densities of single and multiple macro-and micronutrients were estimated in the mature
kernels of 1348 accessions in 13 maize genotypes. The germplasm belonged to stiff stalk …
