The Study of Source-Sink Relations by Comparison of Weight and Grain in the Modern and Old Wheat Cultivars
Seed filling in wheat is controlled by the availability of substrate (source strength), the capacity of the organs to utilize it for seed growth (sink strength). The aim of this research was to study source-sink relations in wheat, through seed weight and grain number in new and old wheat cultivars....
