Observation Earless FS854 leaves remained green like eared controls.
Intervention effect Ear removal reduced reduced N in all hybrids.
Intervention effect Ear removal reduced total N in all hybrids.
Intervention effect Ear removal reduced phosphorus in all hybrids.
Observation Ear removal increased leaf and stalk carbohydrate content.
Observation Earless P3382 and B73 x Mo17 senesced and died early.
Observation Earless P3382 and B73 x Mo17 stopped accumulating dry weight, N and phosphorus by 30 DAA.
Observation Earless FS854 retained some metabolic activity until 58 DAA.
Observation Metabolic activity better reflected senescence course than metabolite content.
Observation The ear itself did not dictate senescence rate or completion.
Association Continued N accumulation and root activity were associated with delayed senescence in earless FS854.

Effects of drought stress on maize kernel growth and photosynthetic characteristics under different pollination types

Shun‐Li Zhou Zhongguo Nongye Daxue xuebao 2013

Other claims from this paper (6)

Intervention effect Drought lowered photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll content; both recovered after watering.
Intervention effect In fully pollinated maize, drought significantly reduced apical kernel dry weight at 12–16 days after pollination.
Intervention effect In fully pollinated maize, drought significantly reduced apical kernel volume at 16 days after pollination.
Intervention effect Drought significantly reduced mature apical kernel dry weight and volume.
Intervention effect Apical kernels grew normally under drought when basal ear positions were not pollinated.
Mechanism The authors attribute apical kernel failure under drought to reduced assimilate production and supply.
