Relative Contribution of Hetero-and Auto-trophic Growth to Genotypic Variation of Seedling Vigor in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

To elucidate the major physiological process to cause genotypic variation in the seedling vigor of rice, we analyzed the dry matter accumulation in the seedling for diverse cultivars distinguishing hetero- and auto-trophic growth. Four cultivars in Exp. 1 and 63 cultivars in Exp. 2 were grown in a g...
