Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Under natural light, relative seed yield increased linearly with relative sink capacity.
- Association Under lower light intensities (72% and 44% of natural light), relative seed yield increased with relative sink capacity only when the latter was small.
- Association Above a critical point of relative sink capacity, further increases in sink capacity did not increase relative seed yield under lower light.
- Association Relative seed yield increased with light intensity, and the rate of increase was larger at larger relative sink capacity.
- Observation The actual vertical distribution of relative sink capacity in the pod layer was opposite to the desirable distribution (large sink capacity at higher, light-exposed pods).
- Association Percentage of seed-setting was positively correlated with relative sink capacity.
- Recommendation Improving seed-setting in pods at higher levels of the pod layer was considered effective for increasing seed yield.
