| In maize, grain yield is highly associated with light interception and photosynthetic activity during grain filling. In Europe, this period typically occurs when solar radiation is already decreasing and water availability may be limiting. The improvement of cold-tolerance is a major challenge for maize production because earlier sowing would allow a better fit between crop cycle and availability of natural resources. Low temperatures have a major impact on (i) radiation interception through the modification of foliage development and (ii) radiation use efficiency (RUE) through the reduction of leaf photosynthetic activity. Little is known about the specific contribution of each of these traits to the lower biomass production under cold conditions and... |
