L. B. OLUGBEMI; R. B. AUSTIN; J. BINGHAM Annals of Applied Biology 1976. doi:10.1111/j.1744-7348.1976.tb01753.x
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Awns contributed 12‐2% to canopy gross photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Awns did not increase whole canopy net photosynthesis.
- Observation Grains contained 80% of recovered carbon seven days after dosing.
- Observation Fully green awns intercepted 9% of visible radiation.
- Observation Awns senesced at similar rates to ears and flag leaves.
- Intervention effect Awns did not increase grain yields in either experiment.
- Recommendation Authors concluded awned breeding has little advantage in British conditions without severe drought.
