Relationship between grain yield, spike number (a), and kernel number (b), and thousand kernel weight (c), and LAI (d), and above ground biomass (e), and post-anthesis dry matter accumulation (f), and WSC accumulation (g), and WSC translocation. LAI-J and LAI-A leaf area index at joining stage and anthesis stage respectively; AGBM-J, AGBM-A, and AGBM-M above ground biomass at joining stage, anthesis stage, maturity stage respectively; WSC water soluble carbohydrate, WSC-P, WSC-L, and WSC-T WSC accumulation amount of peduncle, lower internodes, and the total stem, respectively; WSCT-P, WSCT-L, WSCT-T WSC translocation amount of peduncle, lower internodes, and the total stem, respectively.
