New approach to increasing rice lodging resistance and biomass yield through the use of high gibberellin producing varieties.

New approach to increasing rice lodging resistance and biomass yield through the use of high gibberellin producing varieties.

Traditional breeding for high-yielding rice has been dependent on the widespread use of fertilizers and the cultivation of gibberellin (GA)-deficient semi-dwarf varieties. The use of semi-dwarf plants facilitates high grain yield since these varieties possess high levels of lodging resistance, and t...
