Responses of winter wheat and maize to varying soil moisture: From leaf to canopy
2022, Agricultural and Forest MeteorologyCitation Excerpt :Effects of soil water stress on maize have been investigated in numerous studies focusing on soil plant relations, stomatal regulations and associated eco-physiological mechanisms (see most work from Tardieu and Simonneau, 1998, 2017). Other studies have concentrated more on crop growth and gas exchange processes of old and modern hybrid cultivars (Nissanka et al., 1997), radiation use efficiency and yield loss if plants were exposed to water stress at different growing stages (Abrecht and Carberry, 1993; Earl and Davis, 2003; Çakir, 2004), combined effects of water and heat stress on leaf physiology and plant growth (Perdomo et al., 2016) or on water and nitrogen stress effects on canopy gas exchange (Jones et al., 1986). Fewer studies directly compare observations of water stress effects on stomatal regulations and canopy exchange and on dynamic crop growth processes in the same analysis as presented in this study.

2018, Agricultural and Forest MeteorologyCitation Excerpt :The sensitivity of crop yield to water deficit often markedly differs at different plant growth stages, which has been a classic study topic (Taylor et al., 1983; Fereres and Soriano, 2007)—Generally, staple crops including maize are more sensitive to water deficit during seedling emergence, flowering, and early grain-filling than those during early plant growth and late grain-filling periods (e.g., Doorenbos and Kassam, 1979). Under non-lethal water deficit during early vegetative growth, marked reductions in maize plant height and biomass were often found, and its crop phenology could delay, but this may not closely link to a lower yield potential (Damptey and Aspinall, 1976; Abrecht and Carberry, 1993). However, maize plant at jointing stage has exuberantly metabolic activities; thus, if drought occurs from jointing stage to tasseling stage, the inhibition of plant height would be significantly greater than those at other stages (NeSmith and Ritchie, 1992; Earl and Davis, 2003).
Efficacy of planting date adjustment as a cultivation strategy to cope with drought stress and increase rainfed maize yield and water-use efficiency
2017, Agricultural Water ManagementCitation Excerpt :These changes further affected the development and yield of maize, which resulted in the differences in WUE under different sowing dates. Abrecht and Carberry (1993) showed that water deficit reduced the rate of leaf appearance and delayed tassel initiation and silking. Bai et al. (2009) reported that water stress at different growth stages affected the grain weight to a greater or less degree depending on stage.
Molecular Interactions Between Flowering Time and Abiotic Stress Pathways
2016, International Review of Cell and Molecular BiologyCitation Excerpt :For example, drought delays flowering in maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Wild.) ( Abrecht and Carberry, 1993; Geerts et al., 2008), whereas it hastens flowering in soybean (Glycine max L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (Desclaux and Roumet, 1996; McMaster and Wilhelm, 2003). In addition, stress tolerance in vegetative and reproductive tissues or stages is not always correlated (Salem et al., 2007).
