The near-optimal adjustment of carbon and nitrogen allocations into different organs in early-season rice cultivars with drastically different yield components under nitrogen appli... by Wen Ning, Wen Ning, Lin Su, Lin Su, Dandan Shi, Dandan Shi, Meina Ji, Meina Ji, Xiang Ouyang, Qingfeng Song, Caihong Shao, Xin-Guang Zhu, Shuoqi Chang, Shuoqi Chang

“…At maturity, the photosynthate labeled with 13C distribution ratio in the panicle was greater in the basipetal 2nd leaves than in the flag leaves for ZZ39, whereas the opposite was observed in LLY268. These different photosynthate allocation patterns and their responses to nitrogen application were linked with their corresponding tiller number and number of grains per panicle.DiscussionThis study shows that early-season rice has the ability to flexibly adapt their carbon and nitrogen allocation patterns to gain optimized yield components for higher yield under different nitrogen status. …”
