- Intervention effect Long photoperiod increased daily dry matter production.
- Mechanism Higher leaf area may explain greater daily dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Cooler temperature lengthened the period of dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Lower temperature increased grain yield.
- Intervention effect Lower temperature lengthened the grain filling period.
- Intervention effect Lower temperature increased allocation of post-anthesis dry matter to grain.
- Intervention effect Photoperiod and temperature interacted significantly for grain filling period, kernel number, and grain yield.
- Association Post-anthesis dry matter accumulation did not appear to limit grain yield.
- Mechanism Grain sink size may partly mediate temperature and photoperiod effects on grain filling and yield.
