Post-silking <sup>15</sup>N labelling reveals an enhanced nitrogen allocation to leaves in modern maize (*Zea mays*) genotypes
This article presents a novel modelling approach to study post-silking N allocation and translocation processes for two historical maize genotypes as affected by N availability.
Integrating nitrogen and water‐soluble carbohydrates dynamics in maize: A comparison of hybrids from different decades
This article presents a cognitive carbon (C) to nitrogen (N) framework to further analyze drivers of genetic yield gain and assist in selection strategies in maize.
Physiological changes across historical sorghum hybrids released during the last six decades
This article characterizes sorghum yield changes (and their physiological drivers) over the last six decades of breeding improvement for US hybrids.
Effect of late nitrogen fertilization on grain yield and grain filling in corn
