Low Nitrogen Application Enhances Starch-Metabolizing Enzyme Activity and Improves Accumulation and Translocation of Non-structural Carbohydrates in Rice Stems
More than 4 billion inhabitants in Asia depend on rice for 35–60% of the calories consumed in their diets, but new rice cultivars frequently do not reach expected yields because of poor rice grain filling. Here, we quantified the activities of enzymes involved in starch metabolization in rice to inv...
