Photosynthesis and Dry-Matter Production during Ripening Stage in a Female-Sterile Line of Rice

The relation between the source capacity of leaves and the sink capacity of panicles affects dry-matter production and determines grain yield in rice. The source-sink relation has so far been studied on rice plants from which panicles were artificially removed. We examined the source-sink relation u...
