• Eco-physiology of maize crops under combined stresses 

      Cagnola, Juan I.; D´Andrea, Karina Elizabeth; Rotili, Diego Hernán; Mercau, Jorge Luis; Ploschuk, Edmundo L.; Maddonni, Gustavo Angel; Otegui, María Elena; Casal, Jorge José (Wiley, 2023-12)
      The yield of maize (Zea mays L.) crops depends on their ability to intercept sunlight throughout the growing cycle, transform this energy into biomass and allocate it to the kernels. Abiotic stresses affect these ...
    • Kernel weight in maize: genetic control of its physiological and compositional determinants in a dent × flint-caribbean RIL population 

      Mandolino, Cecilia Ines; D´Andrea, Karina Elizabeth; Piedra, Carlina V.; Alvarez Prado, Santiago; Olmos, Sofía Eugenia; Cirilo, Alfredo Gabriel; Otegui, María Elena (Maydica-ist Sper Cerealicoltur, 2016-12)
      The genetic control of maize kernel weight (KW) determination could be studied through its physiological and/ or compositional determinants. Our objective was to dissect the genetic control of maize KW by analyzing its ...
    • Kernel weight responses to the photo-thermal environment in maize dent × flint and flint × flint hybrids 

      Hisse, Ignacio R.; D´Andrea, Karina Elizabeth; Otegui, María Elena (American Society of Agronomy, 2021-02)
      Maize (Zea mays, L.) grain yield is assumed to be source limited during the flowering period but sink limited during grain growth; however, environmental restrictions during active grain filling may strongly affect final ...
