Title
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINAL YIELD AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS AT FLOWERING IN INDIVIDUAL MAIZE PLANTS

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Method / resource Model-predicted effects of plant density on maize shoot growth compared favorably with available data.
- Method / resource The correlation coefficient between predicted assimilation 1 day after anthesis and grain yield on the same maize plants, with treatment effects removed, was 0.67 (N = 360).
- Association The coefficient of variation of predicted assimilate flux per maize plant increased significantly with increasing plant density.
- Mechanism The authors conclude results supported a threshold assimilation rate per plant below which grain would not normally form, appearing to cause the bimodal distribution of grain yield per plant at high densities.
