High Temperatures During the Seed-Filling Period Decrease Seed Nitrogen Amount in Pea (Pisum sativum L.): Evidence for a Sink Limitation

Higher temperatures induced by the on-going climate change are a major cause of yield reduction in legumes. Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important annual legume crop grown in temperate regions for its high seed nitrogen (N) concentration. In addition to yield, seed N amount at harvest is a crucial c...
