Variation in zinc concentration of sweetcorn kernels reflects source–sink dynamics influenced by kernel number

Grain yield and mineral nutrient concentration in cereal crops are usually inversely correlated, undermining biofortification efforts. Here, sink size, expressed as kernel number per cob, was manipulated by controlling the time when the silks of sweetcorn (Zea mays) cv. Hybrix 5 and var. HiZeax 1031...
