Temporal and Spatial Variations of Carbohydrate Content in Rice Leaf Sheath and Their Varietal Differences

In rice plant, carbohydrates accumulated in leaf sheaths before heading are translocated to grain and affect yield formation greatly. To clarify the intrinsic mechanism of carbohydrate metabolism in the leaf sheath, we investigated the temporal and spatial variations of carbohydrate metabolism in th...
