Source-sink Relationships, Seed Sucrose Levels and Seed Growth Rates in Soybean

Field experiments using two soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) cultivars (‘Elgin 87’ and ‘Essex’) were conducted for 2 years near Lexington, KY, USA to evaluate the effect of source-sink alterations on seed carbohydrate status and growth. Sucrose concentrations in developing cotyledons of control plan...

Description
Summary:Field experiments using two soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) cultivars (‘Elgin 87’ and ‘Essex’) were conducted for 2 years near Lexington, KY, USA to evaluate the effect of source-sink alterations on seed carbohydrate status and growth. Sucrose concentrations in developing cotyledons of control plants were consistently low (
