Assimilate supply and floret development within the spike of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

YM Stockman, RA Fischer, EG Brittain - Functional Plant Biology, 1983 - CSIRO Publishing
The effect of increased as well as reduced assimilate on floret growth and development in

Source—sink relationships and grain mass at different positions within the spike in wheat

GA Slafer, R Savin - Field Crops Research, 1994 - Elsevier
Studies manipulating the source-sink relationships during postanthesis in wheat have
shown inconsistent results, concluding that wheat yield could be either sink-or source …

Kernel number per spike in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): responses to preanthesis shading

RA Fischer, YM Stockman - Functional Plant Biology, 1980 - CSIRO Publishing
Several cultivars of wheat, grown in pots in a controlled environment, were subject to single

Floret fertility in wheat as affected by photoperiod during stem elongation and removal of spikelets at booting

RA Serrago, DJ Miralles, GA Slafer - European Journal of Agronomy, 2008 - Elsevier
Spike growth during the stem elongation phase is critical for the establishment of the number
of fertile florets (FF). A longer period of spike growth would lead to an increased number of …

Photoperiod during stem elongation in wheat: is its impact on fertile floret and grain number determination similar to that of radiation?

FG González, GA Slafer, DJ Miralles - Functional Plant Biology, 2005 - CSIRO Publishing
Increasing duration of stem elongation by exposure to short photoperiod would result in
higher spike dry weight at anthesis, which is positively associated with the number of fertile …
