Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The wheat floret nearest the rachis flowered before distal florets.
- Association Flowering time shift had no significant systematic relation to final wheat grain weight.
- Observation Central wheat grains were heavier than basal grains, which were 9.75% smaller.
- Observation Central wheat grains were heavier than apical grains, which were 18.25% smaller.
- Mechanism Differences in mean grain filling rates mainly explained positional wheat grain-weight differences.
- Method / resource Growth-kinetics analysis improved explanation of variation in wheat grain weight along the ear.
