Abstract: Abstract Increases in frequency and magnitude of drought and heat events are the prime abiotic constraints, which cause considerable adverse effects on maize kernel set and grain yield. However, there is little information about a… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract In maize (Zea mays, L.) genotypic variability in the relationship between total kernel number per plant (KNP) and plant growth rate (PGR) during the period bracketing silking (R1 ± 15 d), and in kernel… read more here.
