Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Late sowing decreased the effective grain-filling rate compared with earlier sowing.
- Intervention effect Late sowing shortened effective grain-filling duration compared with earlier sowing.
- Association Plant growth rate during grain filling was slower in later plantings.
- Observation Endosperm cell number did not differ among sowing dates.
- Association Effective grain-filling rate increased about 0.3 mg d −1 per °C with temperature.
- Association Effective grain-filling duration depended on assimilate availability and grain-filling rate under delayed sowing.
- Mechanism Reduced assimilate supply at later sowing dates caused lower harvested kernel weight.
