Contribution of Sink and Source Sizes to Yield Variation among Rice Cultivars
In order to identify the key factors that arrest yield improvement in rice, we observed fifteen divergent cultivars in a field at Kyoto, Japan in 1995 and 2001 under various nitrogen (N) regimes. The contribution that sink size (spikelet number X single fully ripened grain mass), source size (total...
