Effects of Flag Leaves and Panicles on Light Interception and Canopy Photosynthesis in High-Yielding Rice Cultivars

Effects of Flag Leaves and Panicles on Light Interception and Canopy Photosynthesis in High-Yielding Rice Cultivars

The effects of flag leaves and panicles on canopy photosynthesis in a leading cultivar (Nipponbare) and two high-yielding rice cultivars (Takanari and Ghugoku 117) bred in Japan were compared. The total dry matter production was in the order of Takanari > Ghugoku 117 > Nipponbare. Canopy photo...
