Claim · model-written summary
Big ear varieties had smaller declines in dry matter, spike grain weight and photosynthetic rate after comparable leaf removal.
Verbatim
e0“under the same condition of leaf removal,the decrease ranges of dry matter accumulation,grain weight per spike and photosynthetic rate with the advance of growing stages in big ear variety were far less than those in multiple ear variety and intermediate ear variety”
t0“Wheat”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Leaf removal decreased wheat dry matter accumulation and grain weight per spike.
- Intervention effect Removing more and higher leaves reduced kernel set and grain weight more.
- Intervention effect Remaining leaves had higher net photosynthetic rate after leaf removal.
- Intervention effect Leaf removal increased the contribution of stored stem and sheath substances to grain.
- Observation Post-blooming photosynthates supplied 80% to 90% of wheat grain yield depending on spike type.
- Observation Stored substances from before anthesis contributed to grain extension.
- Observation Big ear wheat drew less grain contribution from pre-anthesis vegetative stores than the other spike types.
- Observation Post-anthesis dry matter distribution was less favorable in big ear wheat.
- Observation The authors judged improvement potential to be higher in big ear wheat.
- Recommendation The authors recommend managing leaf area, tillering, sink and source to improve big ear wheat.
