Understanding physiological mechanisms of variation in grain filling of maize under high planting density and varying nitrogen applicate rate

Grain filling is a critical process for achieving a high grain yield in maize (Zea mays L.), which can be improved by optimal combination with genotype and nitrogen (N) fertilization. However, the physiological processes of variation in grain filling in hybrids and the underlying mechanisms of carbo...
