Fig. 6. Carbohydrate concentrations in endosperm/nucellus composite tissues (upper panel) and pedicels (lower panels) of plants subjected to control, shade, and water deficit treatments during the post-pollination stage in Exp. II. Tissues were sampled from apical and basal regions of ears at the conclusion of treatments, 7 d after pollination. Means ± SEM of 10 replicates are shown.
