Artificial selection for grain yield has increased net CO2 exchange of the ear leaf in maize crops
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03)Identifying the physiological traits indirectly selected during the search for high-yielding maize hybrids is useful for guiding further improvements. To investigate such traits, in this study we focused on the critical ... -
Breeding effects on canopy light attenuation in maize: a retrospective and prospective analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03)The light attenuation process within a plant canopy defines energy capture and vertical distribution of light and nitrogen (N). The vertical light distribution can be quantitatively described with the extinction coefficient ... -
Prospects for plant productivity: from the canopy to the nucleus
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05)Population growth has been closely associated with agricultural production, since the first famine predicted by Malthus (1798) up to the Green Revolution of the past century. Today, we continue to face increasing demand ... -
Yield determinants, root distribution and soil water uptake in maize (Zea mays) hybrids differing in canopy senescence under post-silking drought
(CSIRO Publishing, 2021-05)Delayed canopy senescence or ‘stay-green’ (SG) trait in maize (Zea mays L.) could improve drought tolerance. Two field trials comparing four to six maize hybrids with different senescence rate were carried out at Buenos ...
