A Comparison of the Accumulation and Partitioning of Nitrogen in Plants between Two Rice Cultivars, Akenohoshi and Nipponbare, at the Ripening Stage

To clarify the factors responsible for the maintenance of a high rate of photosynthesis at the ripening stage in the high-yield rice cultivar Akenohoshi, as compared with that in a Japanese standard cultivar, Nipponbare, we investigated the nitrogen content of leaves, focusing on the accumulation an...
