Although not conclusive, since Bacanora was an exception to the trend and radiation use efficiency (above ground biomass per unit PAR interception; RUE), there was a tendency for RUE to increase with year of release which was consistent with a positive association with crop growth rate (above ground DM per m2 per day; CGR) and the trend for an increase in biomass accumulation during the stem elongation phase with plant breeding. Although there was a trend for an increase in biomass accumulation from GS31 GS61+7d this was counteracted by a decrease in ear DM partitioning so that ear DM per m2 at GS61+7d and grains per m2 did not change with plant breeding.Results showed that the improvement in the individual grain weight from 1966 to 2009 in this set of cultivars was associated with improvements in the grain filling rate from 1966 to ca. 1990 and in the duration of grain filling from ca.
