Abstract
SUMMARY: Results from field experiments showed that number of mature grains per plant was related to the plant growth rate during the pre-flowering period. This relation was further improved when growth rate was expressed relative to the rate of plant development. This evidence supports the theory that grain abortion is linked with assimilate production.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
