Size and Activity of Shoot Apical Meristems as Determinants of Floret Number in Rice Panicles
The sink capacity (floret number per unit land area) is currently a serious constraint to grain yield production in japonica rice. The size and activity of the early reproductive shoot apex (incipient panicle) are potential determinants of the number of florets generated on the panicle. This hypothe...
