Abstract:Crop yield is co-determined by photosynthetic potential of source organs, and pattern of partitioning and utilization of photosynthate among sink organs. Although correlation between source sink relation and grain yield has been studied for a century, a quantitative understanding of the metabolic basis of source sink interaction is lacking. Here, we describe a mechanistic model of Whole plAnt Carbon Nitrogen Interaction (WACNI), enabling precise prediction of plant physiological dynamics during the grain filli… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
