Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly decreased yield, biomass, and carbon and nitrogen assimilation in five varieties.
- Intervention effect Water stress modified grain quality traits in five varieties.
- Observation Blade metabolism was among the most susceptible to water stress.
- Observation Peduncle metabolism was among the most susceptible to water stress.
- Observation Ear metabolism was more stable under water stress, particularly at mid-grain filling.
- Observation A large metabolite nutrient source was found outside leaf blades.
- Observation Peduncles had the quantitatively most relevant nutrient pool among organs.
- Association Yield improvement was strongly linked to shoots producing ears and more grains.
- Association Grain filling was considered highly dependent on non-foliar organ carbon and nitrogen fixation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend attention to resilient ear organs in future breeding.
