Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen supply did not influence individual kernel weight in maize grown in the field at high (116 kg/ha) versus low (16 kg/ha) N.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen supply did not influence soluble protein in maize grown in the field at high (116 kg/ha) versus low (16 kg/ha) N.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen supply did not influence GS and PEPC activities in maize grown in the field at high (116 kg/ha) versus low (16 kg/ha) N.
- Observation NADH-GOGAT and GDH results in maize were inconsistent across experimental years.
- Observation Enzyme activities varied among maize genotypes.
- Association Individual kernel weight was not associated with soluble protein content or GS activity in maize.
- Mechanism Genotypes with increased PEPC activity in the PPCh tissue suggest that PEPC plays an important role in determining maize grain yield.
