Expression of grain yield potential of a rice cultivar is determined by its interaction with climatic, edaphic and biotic components of the environment.
Due to the presence of the negatively charged surface potential on each grain boundary, a lot of potential barriers are formed and they impede a directed movement of electrons in the material of the gas-sensitive layer of the sensor under an electric field action [22, 23].
Neilson (2003) also reported that the number of harvestable kernels per ear to be an important contributor to the grain yield potential of maize plant.
This is because (1) reduction of the grain electric potential and (2) reduction of the mean energy of the photoelectron in the W+06 model.
To test this possible explanation for differences in ESR signal intensity and CI values, it is necessary to perform an ESR analysis of quartz, combined with petrological observations of quartz grains in all varieties of potential source rocks in each geological block.
The objectives were to assess the grain yield potential of early-maturing F1 QPM hybrids, estimate the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for grain yield and other agronomic traits and determine the relationship between grain yield and other agronomic traits of the QPM hybrids.
Interestingly, the increase in HI almost fully accounted for the progressive increase in the grain yield potential of wheat, barley and rice between 1900 and 1980 [ 12].
"I like my own company – that's how most other people like it, too!" It is a characteristic Cockerill punchline: entertaining, opinionated and containing a potential grain of truth.
The possible sources of potential variations at grain boundaries in CIGS and their expected magnitudes are discussed in detail by Schmidt [6].
To validate the expression patterns of potential targets for grain filling-associated miRNAs, we selected six target genes (TC383723, TC384445, TC370322, TC400547, DR734203 and TC370450) of candidate miRNAs, which were significantly up-regulated with the development of grains, and gene specific qRT-PCR was performed.
