Figure 6. A schematic representation of the relationship between kernel number per plant and plant growth rate during the period bracketing silking (PGRS) for a hybrid (solid black line), Inbred line 1 (dashed line) and Inbred line 2 (solid gray line), showing differences in PGRS threshold for kernel set (T), initial slope of the relationship between kernel number and PGRS (S), and asymptote or potential kernel number per plant (A).
