Fig. 1 Changes in (a) grain protein concentration, (b) starch, (c) tassel dry weight, and (d) leaf angle, with an increasing leaf-angle score representing more erect leaf stature, in relation to the year of release for commercial maize hybrids and one open-pollinated variety. Data are from field experiments conducted in central Iowa from 1991 to 1994

Fig. 4 Time trends in (a) Iowa contest-winning rainfed maize yields and Iowa average yields in rainfed systems , and (b) Nebraska contest-winning yields in irrigated (NE-CWi) and rainfed systems , and state average yields from irrigated and rainfed systems . All regression coefficients are significant at P < 0.001. The dashed horizontal line represents the mean irrigated contest-winning yield of 18200 kg ha-1
