High Temperature at Flowering Inhibits Swelling of Pollen Grains, a Driving Force for Thecae Dehiscence in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
To clarify the mechanism of high temperature-induced floret sterility in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we studied the effects of high temperature at flowering on the ability of thecae to dehisce and on pollen-grain swelling which causes thecae dehiscence. Two japonica rice cultivars, grown in four L pots...
