Title
Effect of Low Light Stress at Flowering Stage on Kernel Number per Ear of Maize
Xiupin Wang 2014
Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Low light stress at flowering stage decreased daily weight gain of aboveground total dry matter in maize.
- Intervention effect Low light stress at flowering stage slowed female ear growth in maize.
- Intervention effect Low light stress at flowering stage declined the rate of fertilization and seed setting of maize florets.
- Intervention effect The influence of low light on maize increased as the shading rate increased.
- Intervention effect At initial tasseling stage, the final seed setting rate of maize florets was markedly increased relative to the fertilization rate under 60% and 90% shading.
- Intervention effect At silking stage, the final seed setting rate of maize florets was decreased or similar relative to the fertilization rate under 60% and 90% shading.
- Intervention effect Light insufficiency at initial tasseling stage decreased the final kernel number per ear of maize by 57% to 91%.
- Intervention effect Light insufficiency at silking stage decreased the final kernel number per ear of maize by 43% to 81%.
- Association Daily average photosynthetically active radiation during shading had the greatest effect on kernel formation in maize.
- Association Daily weight gain of aboveground total dry matter during shading followed photosynthetically active radiation as a factor of kernel formation.
- Association Daily average temperature during shading at silking stage had a directly positive effect on kernel number per ear of maize.
